BIO_s_file() returns the BIO file method. As its name
implies it is a wrapper round the stdio FILE structure and
it is a source/sink BIO.
Calls to BIO_read() and BIO_write() read and write data to
the underlying stream. BIO_gets() and BIO_puts() are supported
on file BIOs.
BIO_flush() on a file BIO calls the fflush() function on
the wrapped stream.
BIO_reset() attempts to change the file pointer to the
start of file using fseek(stream, 0, 0).
BIO_seek() sets the file pointer to position ofs from
start of file using fseek(stream, ofs, 0).
BIO_eof() calls feof().
Setting the BIO_CLOSE flag calls fclose() on the stream
when the BIO is freed.
BIO_new_file() creates a new file BIO with mode mode the
meaning of mode is the same as the stdio function fopen().
The BIO_CLOSE flag is set on the returned BIO.
BIO_new_fp() creates a file BIO wrapping stream. Flags can
be: BIO_CLOSE, BIO_NOCLOSE (the close flag) BIO_FP_TEXT
(sets the underlying stream to text mode, default is
binary: this only has any effect under Win32).
BIO_set_fp() set the fp of a file BIO to fp. flags has the
same meaning as in BIO_new_fp(), it is a macro.
BIO_get_fp() retrieves the fp of a file BIO, it is a
macro.
BIO_seek() is a macro that sets the position pointer to
offset bytes from the start of file.
BIO_tell() returns the value of the position pointer.
BIO_read_filename(), BIO_write_filename(),
BIO_append_filename() and BIO_rw_filename() set the file
BIO b to use file name for reading, writing, append or
read write respectively.
When wrapping stdout, stdin or stderr the underlying
stream should not normally be closed so the BIO_NOCLOSE
flag should be set.
Because the file BIO calls the underlying stdio functions
any quirks in stdio behaviour will be mirrored by the corresponding
BIO.
File BIO "hello world":
BIO *bio_out;
bio_out = BIO_new_fp(stdout, BIO_NOCLOSE);
BIO_printf(bio_out, "Hello World\n");
Alternative technique:
BIO *bio_out;
bio_out = BIO_new(BIO_s_file());
if(bio_out == NULL) /* Error ... */
if(!BIO_set_fp(bio_out, stdout, BIO_NOCLOSE)) /* Error ... */
BIO_printf(bio_out, "Hello World\n");
Write to a file:
BIO *out;
out = BIO_new_file("filename.txt", "w");
if(!out) /* Error occurred */
BIO_printf(out, "Hello World\n");
BIO_free(out);
Alternative technique:
BIO *out;
out = BIO_new(BIO_s_file());
if(out == NULL) /* Error ... */
if(!BIO_write_filename(out, "filename.txt")) /* Error ... */
BIO_printf(out, "Hello World\n");
BIO_free(out);
BIO_s_file() returns the file BIO method.
BIO_new_file() and BIO_new_fp() return a file BIO or NULL
if an error occurred.
BIO_set_fp() and BIO_get_fp() return 1 for success or 0
for failure (although the current implementation never
return 0).
BIO_seek() returns the same value as the underlying
fseek() function: 0 for success or -1 for failure.
BIO_tell() returns the current file position.
BIO_read_filename(), BIO_write_filename(),
BIO_append_filename() and BIO_rw_filename() return 1 for
success or 0 for failure.
BIO_reset() and BIO_seek() are implemented using fseek()
on the underlying stream. The return value for fseek() is
0 for success or -1 if an error occurred this differs from
other types of BIO which will typically return 1 for success
and a non positive value if an error occurred.
