5 BIO_s_core, BIO_new_from_core_bio - OSSL_CORE_BIO functions
9 #include <openssl/bio.h>
11 const BIO_METHOD *BIO_s_core(void);
13 BIO *BIO_new_from_core_bio(OSSL_LIB_CTX *libctx, OSSL_CORE_BIO *corebio);
17 BIO_s_core() returns the core BIO method function.
19 A core BIO is treated as source/sink BIO which communicates to some external
20 BIO. This is primarily useful to provider authors. A number of calls from
21 libcrypto into a provider supply an OSSL_CORE_BIO parameter. This represents
22 a BIO within libcrypto, but cannot be used directly by a provider. Instead it
23 should be wrapped using a BIO_s_core().
25 Once a BIO is constructed based on BIO_s_core(), the associated OSSL_CORE_BIO
26 object should be set on it using BIO_set_data(3). Note that the BIO will only
27 operate correctly if it is associated with a library context constructed using
28 OSSL_LIB_CTX_new_from_dispatch(3). To associate the BIO with a library context
29 construct it using BIO_new_ex(3).
31 BIO_new_from_core_bio() is a convenience function that constructs a new BIO
32 based on BIO_s_core() and that is associated with the given library context. It
33 then also sets the OSSL_CORE_BIO object on the BIO using BIO_set_data(3).
37 BIO_s_core() return a core BIO B<BIO_METHOD> structure.
39 BIO_new_from_core_bio() returns a BIO structure on success or NULL on failure.
40 A failure will most commonly be because the library context was not constructed
41 using OSSL_LIB_CTX_new_from_dispatch(3).
45 BIO_s_core() and BIO_new_from_core_bio() were added in OpenSSL 3.0.
49 Create a core BIO and write some data to it:
51 int some_function(OSSL_LIB_CTX *libctx, OSSL_CORE_BIO *corebio) {
52 BIO *cbio = BIO_new_from_core_bio(libctx, corebio);
57 BIO_puts(cbio, "Hello World\n");
