BIO_s_file() returns the BIO file method. As its name implies it
28
is a wrapper round the stdio FILE structure and it is a
31
Calls to BIO_read() and BIO_write() read and write data to the
32
underlying stream. BIO_gets() and BIO_puts() are supported on file BIOs.
34
BIO_flush() on a file BIO calls the fflush() function on the wrapped
37
BIO_reset() attempts to change the file pointer to the start of file
38
using fseek(stream, 0, 0).
40
BIO_seek() sets the file pointer to position B<ofs> from start of file
41
using fseek(stream, ofs, 0).
43
BIO_eof() calls feof().
45
Setting the BIO_CLOSE flag calls fclose() on the stream when the BIO
48
BIO_new_file() creates a new file BIO with mode B<mode> the meaning
49
of B<mode> is the same as the stdio function fopen(). The BIO_CLOSE
50
flag is set on the returned BIO.
52
BIO_new_fp() creates a file BIO wrapping B<stream>. Flags can be:
53
BIO_CLOSE, BIO_NOCLOSE (the close flag) BIO_FP_TEXT (sets the underlying
54
stream to text mode, default is binary: this only has any effect under
57
BIO_set_fp() set the fp of a file BIO to B<fp>. B<flags> has the same
58
meaning as in BIO_new_fp(), it is a macro.
60
BIO_get_fp() retrieves the fp of a file BIO, it is a macro.
62
BIO_seek() is a macro that sets the position pointer to B<offset> bytes
63
from the start of file.
65
BIO_tell() returns the value of the position pointer.
67
BIO_read_filename(), BIO_write_filename(), BIO_append_filename() and
68
BIO_rw_filename() set the file BIO B<b> to use file B<name> for
69
reading, writing, append or read write respectively.
73
When wrapping stdout, stdin or stderr the underlying stream should not
74
normally be closed so the BIO_NOCLOSE flag should be set.
76
Because the file BIO calls the underlying stdio functions any quirks
77
in stdio behaviour will be mirrored by the corresponding BIO.
81
File BIO "hello world":
84
bio_out = BIO_new_fp(stdout, BIO_NOCLOSE);
85
BIO_printf(bio_out, "Hello World\n");
87
Alternative technique:
90
bio_out = BIO_new(BIO_s_file());
91
if(bio_out == NULL) /* Error ... */
92
if(!BIO_set_fp(bio_out, stdout, BIO_NOCLOSE)) /* Error ... */
93
BIO_printf(bio_out, "Hello World\n");
98
out = BIO_new_file("filename.txt", "w");
99
if(!out) /* Error occurred */
100
BIO_printf(out, "Hello World\n");
103
Alternative technique:
106
out = BIO_new(BIO_s_file());
107
if(out == NULL) /* Error ... */
108
if(!BIO_write_filename(out, "filename.txt")) /* Error ... */
109
BIO_printf(out, "Hello World\n");
114
BIO_s_file() returns the file BIO method.
116
BIO_new_file() and BIO_new_fp() return a file BIO or NULL if an error
119
BIO_set_fp() and BIO_get_fp() return 1 for success or 0 for failure
120
(although the current implementation never return 0).
122
BIO_seek() returns the same value as the underlying fseek() function:
123
0 for success or -1 for failure.
125
BIO_tell() returns the current file position.
127
BIO_read_filename(), BIO_write_filename(), BIO_append_filename() and
128
BIO_rw_filename() return 1 for success or 0 for failure.
132
BIO_reset() and BIO_seek() are implemented using fseek() on the underlying
133
stream. The return value for fseek() is 0 for success or -1 if an error
134
occurred this differs from other types of BIO which will typically return
135
1 for success and a non positive value if an error occurred.
