<h1 id="NAME">NAME</h1>
<p>BIO_new, BIO_up_ref, BIO_free, BIO_vfree, BIO_free_all - BIO allocation and freeing functions</p>
<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>
<pre><code> #include <openssl/bio.h>
BIO * BIO_new(const BIO_METHOD *type);
int BIO_up_ref(BIO *a);
int BIO_free(BIO *a);
void BIO_vfree(BIO *a);
void BIO_free_all(BIO *a);</code></pre>
<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>
<p>The BIO_new() function returns a new BIO using method <b>type</b>.</p>
<p>BIO_up_ref() increments the reference count associated with the BIO object.</p>
<p>BIO_free() frees up a single BIO, BIO_vfree() also frees up a single BIO but it does not return a value. If <b>a</b> is NULL nothing is done. Calling BIO_free() may also have some effect on the underlying I/O structure, for example it may close the file being referred to under certain circumstances. For more details see the individual BIO_METHOD descriptions.</p>
<p>BIO_free_all() frees up an entire BIO chain, it does not halt if an error occurs freeing up an individual BIO in the chain. If <b>a</b> is NULL nothing is done.</p>
<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>
<p>BIO_new() returns a newly created BIO or NULL if the call fails.</p>
<p>BIO_up_ref() and BIO_free() return 1 for success and 0 for failure.</p>
<p>BIO_free_all() and BIO_vfree() do not return values.</p>
<h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1>
<p>If BIO_free() is called on a BIO chain it will only free one BIO resulting in a memory leak.</p>
<p>Calling BIO_free_all() on a single BIO has the same effect as calling BIO_free() on it other than the discarded return value.</p>
<h1 id="HISTORY">HISTORY</h1>
<p>BIO_set() was removed in OpenSSL 1.1.0 as BIO type is now opaque.</p>
<h1 id="EXAMPLES">EXAMPLES</h1>
<p>Create a memory BIO:</p>
<pre><code> BIO *mem = BIO_new(BIO_s_mem());</code></pre>
