     46 =head1 DESCRIPTION
     47 
     48 BIO_ctrl(), BIO_callback_ctrl(), BIO_ptr_ctrl() and BIO_int_ctrl()
     49 are BIO "control" operations taking arguments of various types.
     50 These functions are not normally called directly, various macros
     51 are used instead. The standard macros are described below, macros
     52 specific to a particular type of BIO are described in the specific
     53 BIOs manual page as well as any special features of the standard
     54 calls.
     55 
     56 BIO_reset() typically resets a BIO to some initial state, in the case
     57 of file related BIOs for example it rewinds the file pointer to the
     58 start of the file.
     59 
     60 BIO_seek() resets a file related BIO's (that is file descriptor and
     61 FILE BIOs) file position pointer to B<ofs> bytes from start of file.
     62 
     63 BIO_tell() returns the current file position of a file related BIO.
     64 
     65 BIO_flush() normally writes out any internally buffered data, in some
     66 cases it is used to signal EOF and that no more data will be written.
     67 
     68 BIO_eof() returns 1 if the BIO has read EOF, the precise meaning of
     69 "EOF" varies according to the BIO type.
     70 
     71 BIO_set_close() sets the BIO B<b> close flag to B<flag>. B<flag> can
     72 take the value BIO_CLOSE or BIO_NOCLOSE. Typically BIO_CLOSE is used
     73 in a source/sink BIO to indicate that the underlying I/O stream should
     74 be closed when the BIO is freed.
     75 
     76 BIO_get_close() returns the BIOs close flag.
     77 
     78 BIO_pending(), BIO_ctrl_pending(), BIO_wpending() and BIO_ctrl_wpending()
     79 return the number of pending characters in the BIOs read and write buffers.
     80 Not all BIOs support these calls. BIO_ctrl_pending() and BIO_ctrl_wpending()
     81 return a size_t type and are functions, BIO_pending() and BIO_wpending() are
     82 macros which call BIO_ctrl().
     83 
     84 BIO_get_ktls_send() returns 1 if the BIO is using the Kernel TLS data-path for
     85 sending. Otherwise, it returns zero.
     86 BIO_get_ktls_recv() returns 1 if the BIO is using the Kernel TLS data-path for
     87 receiving. Otherwise, it returns zero.
     88 
     89 BIO_get_conn_mode() returns the BIO connection mode. BIO_set_conn_mode() sets
     90 the BIO connection mode.
     91 
     92 BIO_set_tfo() disables TCP Fast Open when B<onoff> is 0, and enables TCP Fast
     93 Open when B<onoff> is nonzero. Setting the value to 1 is equivalent to setting
     94 B<BIO_SOCK_TFO> in BIO_set_conn_mode().
     95 
     96 =head1 RETURN VALUES
     97 
     98 BIO_reset() normally returns 1 for success and <=0 for failure. File
     99 BIOs are an exception, they return 0 for success and -1 for failure.
    100 
    101 BIO_seek() and BIO_tell() both return the current file position on success
    102 and -1 for failure, except file BIOs which for BIO_seek() always return 0
    103 for success and -1 for failure.
    104 
    105 BIO_flush() returns 1 for success and <=0 for failure.
    106 
    107 BIO_eof() returns 1 if EOF has been reached, 0 if not, or negative values for failure.
    108 
    109 BIO_set_close() returns 1 on success or <=0 for failure.
    110 
    111 BIO_get_close() returns the close flag value: BIO_CLOSE or BIO_NOCLOSE. It also
    112 returns other negative values if an error occurs.
    113 
    114 BIO_pending(), BIO_ctrl_pending(), BIO_wpending() and BIO_ctrl_wpending()
    115 return the amount of pending data. BIO_pending() and BIO_wpending() return
    116 negative value or 0 on error. BIO_ctrl_pending() and BIO_ctrl_wpending() return
    117 0 on error.
    118 
    119 BIO_get_ktls_send() returns 1 if the BIO is using the Kernel TLS data-path for
    120 sending. Otherwise, it returns zero.
    121 BIO_get_ktls_recv() returns 1 if the BIO is using the Kernel TLS data-path for
    122 receiving. Otherwise, it returns zero.
    123 
    124 BIO_set_conn_mode() returns 1 for success and 0 for failure. BIO_get_conn_mode()
    125 returns the current connection mode. Which may contain the bitwise-or of the
    126 following flags:
    127 
    128  BIO_SOCK_REUSEADDR
    129  BIO_SOCK_V6_ONLY
    130  BIO_SOCK_KEEPALIVE
    131  BIO_SOCK_NONBLOCK
    132  BIO_SOCK_NODELAY
    133  BIO_SOCK_TFO
    134 
    135 BIO_set_tfo() returns 1 for success, and 0 for failure.
    136 
    137 =head1 NOTES
    138 
    139 BIO_flush(), because it can write data may return 0 or -1 indicating
    140 that the call should be retried later in a similar manner to BIO_write_ex().
    141 The BIO_should_retry() call should be used and appropriate action taken
    142 is the call fails.
    143 
    144 The return values of BIO_pending() and BIO_wpending() may not reliably
    145 determine the amount of pending data in all cases. For example in the
    146 case of a file BIO some data may be available in the FILE structures
    147 internal buffers but it is not possible to determine this in a
    148 portably way. For other types of BIO they may not be supported.
    149 
    150 Filter BIOs if they do not internally handle a particular BIO_ctrl()
    151 operation usually pass the operation to the next BIO in the chain.
    152 This often means there is no need to locate the required BIO for
    153 a particular operation, it can be called on a chain and it will
    154 be automatically passed to the relevant BIO. However, this can cause
    155 unexpected results: for example no current filter BIOs implement
    156 BIO_seek(), but this may still succeed if the chain ends in a FILE
    157 or file descriptor BIO.
    158 
    159 Source/sink BIOs return an 0 if they do not recognize the BIO_ctrl()
    160 operation.
    161 
    162 =head1 BUGS
    163 
    164 Some of the return values are ambiguous and care should be taken. In
    165 particular a return value of 0 can be returned if an operation is not
    166 supported, if an error occurred, if EOF has not been reached and in
    167 the case of BIO_seek() on a file BIO for a successful operation.
    168 
    169 In older versions of OpenSSL the BIO_ctrl_pending() and
    170 BIO_ctrl_wpending() could return values greater than INT_MAX on error.
    171 
    172 =head1 HISTORY
    173 
    174 The BIO_get_ktls_send() and BIO_get_ktls_recv() macros were added in
    175 OpenSSL 3.0. They were modified to never return -1 in OpenSSL 3.0.4.
    176 
    177 The BIO_get_conn_mode(), BIO_set_conn_mode() and BIO_set_tfo() functions
    178 were added in OpenSSL 3.2.
