.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fIBIO_s_fd()\fR returns the file descriptor \s-1BIO\s0 method. This is a wrapper
round the platforms file descriptor routines such as \fIread()\fR and \fIwrite()\fR.
.PP
\&\fIBIO_read()\fR and \fIBIO_write()\fR read or write the underlying descriptor.
\&\fIBIO_puts()\fR is supported but \fIBIO_gets()\fR is not.
.PP
If the close flag is set then then \fIclose()\fR is called on the underlying
file descriptor when the \s-1BIO\s0 is freed.
.PP
\&\fIBIO_reset()\fR attempts to change the file pointer to the start of file
using lseek(fd, 0, 0).
.PP
\&\fIBIO_seek()\fR sets the file pointer to position \fBofs\fR from start of file
using lseek(fd, ofs, 0).
.PP
\&\fIBIO_tell()\fR returns the current file position by calling lseek(fd, 0, 1).
.PP
\&\fIBIO_set_fd()\fR sets the file descriptor of \s-1BIO\s0 \fBb\fR to \fBfd\fR and the close
flag to \fBc\fR.
.PP
\&\fIBIO_get_fd()\fR places the file descriptor in \fBc\fR if it is not \s-1NULL\s0, it also
returns the file descriptor. If \fBc\fR is not \s-1NULL\s0 it should be of type
(int *).
.PP
\&\fIBIO_new_fd()\fR returns a file descriptor \s-1BIO\s0 using \fBfd\fR and \fBclose_flag\fR.
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
The behaviour of \fIBIO_read()\fR and \fIBIO_write()\fR depends on the behavior of the
platforms \fIread()\fR and \fIwrite()\fR calls on the descriptor. If the underlying 
file descriptor is in a non blocking mode then the \s-1BIO\s0 will behave in the
manner described in the \fIBIO_read\fR\|(3) and \fIBIO_should_retry\fR\|(3)
manual pages.
.PP
File descriptor BIOs should not be used for socket I/O. Use socket BIOs
instead.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fIBIO_s_fd()\fR returns the file descriptor \s-1BIO\s0 method.
.PP
\&\fIBIO_reset()\fR returns zero for success and \-1 if an error occurred.
\&\fIBIO_seek()\fR and \fIBIO_tell()\fR return the current file position or \-1
is an error occurred. These values reflect the underlying \fIlseek()\fR
behaviour.
.PP
\&\fIBIO_set_fd()\fR always returns 1.
.PP
\&\fIBIO_get_fd()\fR returns the file descriptor or \-1 if the \s-1BIO\s0 has not
been initialized.
.PP
\&\fIBIO_new_fd()\fR returns the newly allocated \s-1BIO\s0 or \s-1NULL\s0 is an error
occurred.
