DESCRIPTION BIO_ctrl(), BIO_callback_ctrl(), BIO_ptr_ctrl() and BIO_int_ctrl() are BIO "control" operations taking arguments of various types. These functions are not normally called directly, various macros are used instead. The standard macros are described below, macros specific to a particular type of BIO are described in the specific BIOs manual page as well as any special features of the standard calls.
BIO_reset() typically resets a BIO to some initial state, in the case of file related BIOs for example it rewinds the file pointer to the start of the file.
BIO_seek() resets a file related BIO's (that is file descriptor and FILE BIOs) file position pointer to ofs bytes from start of file.
BIO_tell() returns the current file position of a file related BIO.
BIO_flush() normally writes out any internally buffered data, in some cases it is used to signal EOF and that no more data will be written.
BIO_eof() returns 1 if the BIO has read EOF, the precise meaning of BIO_get_close() returns the BIOs close flag.
BIO_pending(), BIO_ctrl_pending(), BIO_wpending() and BIO_ctrl_wpending() return the number of pending characters in the BIOs read and write buffers. Not all BIOs support these calls. BIO_ctrl_pending() and BIO_ctrl_wpending() return a size_t type and are functions, BIO_pending() and BIO_wpending() are macros which call BIO_ctrl().
BIO_get_ktls_send() returns 1 if the BIO is using the Kernel TLS data- path for sending. Otherwise, it returns zero. BIO_get_ktls_recv() returns 1 if the BIO is using the Kernel TLS data-path for receiving. Otherwise, it returns zero.
RETURN VALUES BIO_reset() normally returns 1 for success and <=0 for failure. File BIOs are an exception, they return 0 for success and -1 for failure.
BIO_seek() and BIO_tell() both return the current file position on success and -1 for failure, except file BIOs which for BIO_seek() always return 0 for success and -1 for failure.
BIO_flush() returns 1 for success and <=0 for failure.
BIO_eof() returns 1 if EOF has been reached, 0 if not, or negative values for failure.
BIO_set_close() returns 1 on success or <=0 for failure.
BIO_get_close() returns the close flag value: BIO_CLOSE or BIO_NOCLOSE. It also returns other negative values if an error occurs.
BIO_pending(), BIO_ctrl_pending(), BIO_wpending() and BIO_ctrl_wpending() return the amount of pending data. BIO_pending() and BIO_wpending() return negative value or 0 on error. BIO_ctrl_pending() and BIO_ctrl_wpending() return 0 on error.
BIO_get_ktls_send() returns 1 if the BIO is using the Kernel TLS data- path for sending. Otherwise, it returns zero. BIO_get_ktls_recv() returns 1 if the BIO is using the Kernel TLS data-path for receiving. Otherwise, it returns zero.
NOTES BIO_flush(), because it can write data may return 0 or -1 indicating that the call should be retried later in a similar manner to BIO_write_ex(). The BIO_should_retry() call should be used and appropriate action taken is the call fails.
The return values of BIO_pending() and BIO_wpending() may not reliably determine the amount of pending data in all cases. For example in the case of a file BIO some data may be available in the FILE structures internal buffers but it is not possible to determine this in a portably way. For other types of BIO they may not be supported.
Filter BIOs if they do not internally handle a particular BIO_ctrl() operation usually pass the operation to the next BIO in the chain. This often means there is no need to locate the required BIO for a particular operation, it can be called on a chain and it will be automatically passed to the relevant BIO. However, this can cause
BUGS Some of the return values are ambiguous and care should be taken. In particular a return value of 0 can be returned if an operation is not supported, if an error occurred, if EOF has not been reached and in the case of BIO_seek() on a file BIO for a successful operation.
In older versions of OpenSSL the BIO_ctrl_pending() and BIO_ctrl_wpending() could return values greater than INT_MAX on error.
HISTORY The BIO_get_ktls_send() and BIO_get_ktls_recv() macros were added in OpenSSL 3.0. They were modified to never return -1 in OpenSSL 3.0.4.
