  84. .SH DESCRIPTION
  85. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  86. \&\fBBIO_f_buffer()\fR returns the buffering BIO method.
  87. .PP
  88. Data written to a buffering BIO is buffered and periodically written
  89. to the next BIO in the chain. Data read from a buffering BIO comes from
  90. an internal buffer which is filled from the next BIO in the chain.
  91. Both \fBBIO_gets()\fR and \fBBIO_puts()\fR are supported.
  92. .PP
  93. Calling \fBBIO_reset()\fR on a buffering BIO clears any buffered data.
  94. .PP
  95. \&\fBBIO_get_buffer_num_lines()\fR returns the number of lines currently buffered.
  96. .PP
  97. \&\fBBIO_set_read_buffer_size()\fR, \fBBIO_set_write_buffer_size()\fR and \fBBIO_set_buffer_size()\fR
  98. set the read, write or both read and write buffer sizes to \fBsize\fR. The initial
  99. buffer size is DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE, currently 4096. Any attempt to reduce the
  100. buffer size below DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE is ignored. Any buffered data is cleared
  101. when the buffer is resized.
  102. .PP
  103. \&\fBBIO_set_buffer_read_data()\fR clears the read buffer and fills it with \fBnum\fR
  104. bytes of \fBbuf\fR. If \fBnum\fR is larger than the current buffer size the buffer
  105. is expanded.
  106. .SH NOTES
  107. .IX Header "NOTES"
  108. These functions, other than \fBBIO_f_buffer()\fR, are implemented as macros.
  109. .PP
  110. Buffering BIOs implement \fBBIO_read_ex()\fR and \fBBIO_gets()\fR by using
  111. \&\fBBIO_read_ex()\fR operations on the next BIO in the chain and storing the
  112. result in an internal buffer, from which bytes are given back to the
  113. caller as appropriate for the call; a \fBBIO_gets()\fR is guaranteed to give
  114. the caller a whole line, and \fBBIO_read_ex()\fR is guaranteed to give the
  115. caller the number of bytes it asks for, unless there's an error or end
  116. of communication is reached in the next BIO. By prepending a
  117. buffering BIO to a chain it is therefore possible to provide
  118. \&\fBBIO_gets()\fR or exact size \fBBIO_read_ex()\fR functionality if the following
  119. BIOs do not support it.
  120. .PP
  121. Do not add more than one \fBBIO_f_buffer()\fR to a BIO chain. The result of
  122. doing so will force a full read of the size of the internal buffer of
  123. the top \fBBIO_f_buffer()\fR, which is 4 KiB at a minimum.
  124. .PP
  125. Data is only written to the next BIO in the chain when the write buffer fills
  126. or when \fBBIO_flush()\fR is called. It is therefore important to call \fBBIO_flush()\fR
  127. whenever any pending data should be written such as when removing a buffering
  128. BIO using \fBBIO_pop()\fR. \fBBIO_flush()\fR may need to be retried if the ultimate
  129. source/sink BIO is non blocking.
  130. .SH "RETURN VALUES"
  131. .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
  132. \&\fBBIO_f_buffer()\fR returns the buffering BIO method.
  133. .PP
  134. \&\fBBIO_get_buffer_num_lines()\fR returns the number of lines buffered (may be 0) or
  135. a negative value in case of errors.
  136. .PP
  137. \&\fBBIO_set_read_buffer_size()\fR, \fBBIO_set_write_buffer_size()\fR and \fBBIO_set_buffer_size()\fR
  138. return 1 if the buffer was successfully resized or <=0 for failure.
  139. .PP
  140. \&\fBBIO_set_buffer_read_data()\fR returns 1 if the data was set correctly or <=0 if
  141. there was an error.
