<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>
<p>BIO_s_file() returns the BIO file method. As its name implies it is a wrapper round the stdio FILE structure and it is a source/sink BIO.</p>
<p>Calls to BIO_read_ex() and BIO_write_ex() read and write data to the underlying stream. BIO_gets() and BIO_puts() are supported on file BIOs.</p>
<p>BIO_flush() on a file BIO calls the fflush() function on the wrapped stream.</p>
<p>BIO_reset() attempts to change the file pointer to the start of file using fseek(stream, 0, 0).</p>
<p>BIO_seek() sets the file pointer to position <b>ofs</b> from start of file using fseek(stream, ofs, 0).</p>
<p>BIO_eof() calls feof().</p>
<p>Setting the BIO_CLOSE flag calls fclose() on the stream when the BIO is freed.</p>
<p>BIO_new_file() creates a new file BIO with mode <b>mode</b> the meaning of <b>mode</b> is the same as the stdio function fopen(). The BIO_CLOSE flag is set on the returned BIO.</p>
<p>BIO_new_fp() creates a file BIO wrapping <b>stream</b>. Flags can be: BIO_CLOSE, BIO_NOCLOSE (the close flag) BIO_FP_TEXT (sets the underlying stream to text mode, default is binary: this only has any effect under Win32).</p>
<p>BIO_set_fp() sets the fp of a file BIO to <b>fp</b>. <b>flags</b> has the same meaning as in BIO_new_fp(), it is a macro.</p>
<p>BIO_get_fp() retrieves the fp of a file BIO, it is a macro.</p>
<p>BIO_seek() is a macro that sets the position pointer to <b>offset</b> bytes from the start of file.</p>
<p>BIO_tell() returns the value of the position pointer.</p>
<p>BIO_read_filename(), BIO_write_filename(), BIO_append_filename() and BIO_rw_filename() set the file BIO <b>b</b> to use file <b>name</b> for reading, writing, append or read write respectively.</p>
<h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1>
<p>When wrapping stdout, stdin or stderr the underlying stream should not normally be closed so the BIO_NOCLOSE flag should be set.</p>
<p>Because the file BIO calls the underlying stdio functions any quirks in stdio behaviour will be mirrored by the corresponding BIO.</p>
<p>On Windows BIO_new_files reserves for the filename argument to be UTF-8 encoded. In other words if you have to make it work in multi- lingual environment, encode filenames in UTF-8.</p>
<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>
<p>BIO_s_file() returns the file BIO method.</p>
<p>BIO_new_file() and BIO_new_fp() return a file BIO or NULL if an error occurred.</p>
<p>BIO_set_fp() and BIO_get_fp() return 1 for success or 0 for failure (although the current implementation never return 0).</p>
<p>BIO_seek() returns the same value as the underlying fseek() function: 0 for success or -1 for failure.</p>
<p>BIO_tell() returns the current file position.</p>
<p>BIO_read_filename(), BIO_write_filename(), BIO_append_filename() and BIO_rw_filename() return 1 for success or 0 for failure.</p>
<h1 id="EXAMPLES">EXAMPLES</h1>
<p>File BIO "hello world":</p>
<pre><code> BIO *bio_out;
bio_out = BIO_new_fp(stdout, BIO_NOCLOSE);
BIO_printf(bio_out, "Hello World\n");</code></pre>
<p>Alternative technique:</p>
<pre><code> BIO *bio_out;
bio_out = BIO_new(BIO_s_file());
if (bio_out == NULL)
/* Error */
if (!BIO_set_fp(bio_out, stdout, BIO_NOCLOSE))
/* Error */
BIO_printf(bio_out, "Hello World\n");</code></pre>
<p>Write to a file:</p>
<pre><code> BIO *out;
out = BIO_new_file("filename.txt", "w");
if (!out)
/* Error */
BIO_printf(out, "Hello World\n");
BIO_free(out);</code></pre>
<p>Alternative technique:</p>
<pre><code> BIO *out;
out = BIO_new(BIO_s_file());
if (out == NULL)
/* Error */
if (!BIO_write_filename(out, "filename.txt"))
/* Error */
BIO_printf(out, "Hello World\n");
BIO_free(out);</code></pre>
<h1 id="BUGS">BUGS</h1>
<p>BIO_reset() and BIO_seek() are implemented using fseek() on the underlying stream. The return value for fseek() is 0 for success or -1 if an error occurred this differs from other types of BIO which will typically return 1 for success and a non positive value if an error occurred.</p>
