16
e040a42e
MC
17SSL_set0_rbio() connects the BIO B<rbio> for the read operations of the B<ssl>
18object. The SSL engine inherits the behaviour of B<rbio>. If the BIO is
19non-blocking then the B<ssl> object will also have non-blocking behaviour. This
20function transfers ownership of B<rbio> to B<ssl>. It will be automatically
21freed using L<BIO_free_all(3)> when the B<ssl> is freed. On calling this
22function, any existing B<rbio> that was previously set will also be freed via a
23call to L<BIO_free_all(3)> (this includes the case where the B<rbio> is set to
24the same value as previously).

26SSL_set0_wbio() works in the same as SSL_set0_rbio() except that it connects
27the BIO B<wbio> for the write operations of the B<ssl> object. Note that if the
28rbio and wbio are the same then SSL_set0_rbio() and SSL_set0_wbio() each take
29ownership of one reference. Therefore it may be necessary to increment the
30number of references available using L<BIO_up_ref(3)> before calling the set0
31functions.

33SSL_set_bio() is similar to SSL_set0_rbio() and SSL_set0_wbio() except
34that it connects both the B<rbio> and the B<wbio> at the same time, and
35transfers the ownership of B<rbio> and B<wbio> to B<ssl> according to
36the following set of rules:

88Because of this complexity, this function should be avoided;
89use SSL_set0_rbio() and SSL_set0_wbio() instead.
