.IX Title "BIO_push 3"
.TH BIO_push 3 "2001-04-11" "0.9.9-dev" "OpenSSL"
.SH "NAME"
BIO_push, BIO_pop \- add and remove BIOs from a chain.
.SH "LIBRARY"
libcrypto, -lcrypto
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 1
\& #include <openssl/bio.h>
.Ve
.PP
.Vb 2
\& BIO * BIO_push(BIO *b,BIO *append);
\& BIO * BIO_pop(BIO *b);
.Ve
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \fIBIO_push()\fR function appends the \s-1BIO\s0 \fBappend\fR to \fBb\fR, it returns
\&\fBb\fR.
.PP
\&\fIBIO_pop()\fR removes the \s-1BIO\s0 \fBb\fR from a chain and returns the next \s-1BIO\s0
in the chain, or \s-1NULL\s0 if there is no next \s-1BIO\s0. The removed \s-1BIO\s0 then
becomes a single \s-1BIO\s0 with no association with the original chain,
it can thus be freed or attached to a different chain.
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
The names of these functions are perhaps a little misleading. \fIBIO_push()\fR
joins two \s-1BIO\s0 chains whereas \fIBIO_pop()\fR deletes a single \s-1BIO\s0 from a chain,
the deleted \s-1BIO\s0 does not need to be at the end of a chain.
.PP
The process of calling \fIBIO_push()\fR and \fIBIO_pop()\fR on a \s-1BIO\s0 may have additional
consequences (a control call is made to the affected BIOs) any effects will
be noted in the descriptions of individual BIOs.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.IX Header "EXAMPLES"
For these examples suppose \fBmd1\fR and \fBmd2\fR are digest BIOs, \fBb64\fR is
a base64 \s-1BIO\s0 and \fBf\fR is a file \s-1BIO\s0.
.PP
If the call:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& BIO_push(b64, f);
.Ve
.PP
is made then the new chain will be \fBb64\-chain\fR. After making the calls
.PP
.Vb 2
\& BIO_push(md2, b64);
\& BIO_push(md1, md2);
.Ve
.PP
the new chain is \fBmd1\-md2\-b64\-f\fR. Data written to \fBmd1\fR will be digested
by \fBmd1\fR and \fBmd2\fR, \fBbase64\fR encoded and written to \fBf\fR.
.PP
It should be noted that reading causes data to pass in the reverse
direction, that is data is read from \fBf\fR, base64 \fBdecoded\fR and digested
by \fBmd1\fR and \fBmd2\fR. If the call:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& BIO_pop(md2);
.Ve
.PP
The call will return \fBb64\fR and the new chain will be \fBmd1\-b64\-f\fR data can
be written to \fBmd1\fR as before.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fIBIO_push()\fR returns the end of the chain, \fBb\fR.
.PP
\&\fIBIO_pop()\fR returns the next \s-1BIO\s0 in the chain, or \s-1NULL\s0 if there is no next
\&\s-1BIO\s0.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.IX Header "SEE ALSO"
