167 .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
168 \&\fIBIO_s_file()\fR returns the \s-1BIO\s0 file method. As its name implies it
169 is a wrapper round the stdio \s-1FILE\s0 structure and it is a
170 source/sink \s-1BIO.\s0
172 Calls to \fIBIO_read()\fR and \fIBIO_write()\fR read and write data to the
173 underlying stream. \fIBIO_gets()\fR and \fIBIO_puts()\fR are supported on file BIOs.
175 \&\fIBIO_flush()\fR on a file \s-1BIO\s0 calls the \fIfflush()\fR function on the wrapped
178 \&\fIBIO_reset()\fR attempts to change the file pointer to the start of file
179 using fseek(stream, 0, 0).
181 \&\fIBIO_seek()\fR sets the file pointer to position \fBofs\fR from start of file
182 using fseek(stream, ofs, 0).
184 \&\fIBIO_eof()\fR calls \fIfeof()\fR.
186 Setting the \s-1BIO_CLOSE\s0 flag calls \fIfclose()\fR on the stream when the \s-1BIO\s0
189 \&\fIBIO_new_file()\fR creates a new file \s-1BIO\s0 with mode \fBmode\fR the meaning
190 of \fBmode\fR is the same as the stdio function \fIfopen()\fR. The \s-1BIO_CLOSE\s0
191 flag is set on the returned \s-1BIO.\s0
193 \&\fIBIO_new_fp()\fR creates a file \s-1BIO\s0 wrapping \fBstream\fR. Flags can be:
194 \&\s-1BIO_CLOSE, BIO_NOCLOSE \s0(the close flag) \s-1BIO_FP_TEXT \s0(sets the underlying
195 stream to text mode, default is binary: this only has any effect under
198 \&\fIBIO_set_fp()\fR set the fp of a file \s-1BIO\s0 to \fBfp\fR. \fBflags\fR has the same
199 meaning as in \fIBIO_new_fp()\fR, it is a macro.
201 \&\fIBIO_get_fp()\fR retrieves the fp of a file \s-1BIO,\s0 it is a macro.
203 \&\fIBIO_seek()\fR is a macro that sets the position pointer to \fBoffset\fR bytes
204 from the start of file.
206 \&\fIBIO_tell()\fR returns the value of the position pointer.
208 \&\fIBIO_read_filename()\fR, \fIBIO_write_filename()\fR, \fIBIO_append_filename()\fR and
209 \&\fIBIO_rw_filename()\fR set the file \s-1BIO \s0\fBb\fR to use file \fBname\fR for
210 reading, writing, append or read write respectively.
213 When wrapping stdout, stdin or stderr the underlying stream should not
214 normally be closed so the \s-1BIO_NOCLOSE\s0 flag should be set.
216 Because the file \s-1BIO\s0 calls the underlying stdio functions any quirks
217 in stdio behaviour will be mirrored by the corresponding \s-1BIO.\s0
219 On Windows BIO_new_files reserves for the filename argument to be
220 \&\s-1UTF\-8\s0 encoded. In other words if you have to make it work in multi\-
221 lingual environment, encode file names in \s-1UTF\-8.\s0
223 .IX Header "EXAMPLES"
224 File \s-1BIO \s0\*(L"hello world\*(R":
228 \& bio_out = BIO_new_fp(stdout, BIO_NOCLOSE);
229 \& BIO_printf(bio_out, "Hello World\en");
232 Alternative technique:
236 \& bio_out = BIO_new(BIO_s_file());
237 \& if(bio_out == NULL) /* Error ... */
238 \& if(!BIO_set_fp(bio_out, stdout, BIO_NOCLOSE)) /* Error ... */
239 \& BIO_printf(bio_out, "Hello World\en");
246 \& out = BIO_new_file("filename.txt", "w");
247 \& if(!out) /* Error occurred */
248 \& BIO_printf(out, "Hello World\en");
252 Alternative technique:
256 \& out = BIO_new(BIO_s_file());
257 \& if(out == NULL) /* Error ... */
258 \& if(!BIO_write_filename(out, "filename.txt")) /* Error ... */
259 \& BIO_printf(out, "Hello World\en");
263 .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
264 \&\fIBIO_s_file()\fR returns the file \s-1BIO\s0 method.
266 \&\fIBIO_new_file()\fR and \fIBIO_new_fp()\fR return a file \s-1BIO\s0 or \s-1NULL\s0 if an error
269 \&\fIBIO_set_fp()\fR and \fIBIO_get_fp()\fR return 1 for success or 0 for failure
270 (although the current implementation never return 0).
272 \&\fIBIO_seek()\fR returns the same value as the underlying \fIfseek()\fR function:
273 0 for success or \-1 for failure.
275 \&\fIBIO_tell()\fR returns the current file position.
277 \&\fIBIO_read_filename()\fR, \fIBIO_write_filename()\fR, \fIBIO_append_filename()\fR and
278 \&\fIBIO_rw_filename()\fR return 1 for success or 0 for failure.
281 \&\fIBIO_reset()\fR and \fIBIO_seek()\fR are implemented using \fIfseek()\fR on the underlying
282 stream. The return value for \fIfseek()\fR is 0 for success or \-1 if an error
283 occurred this differs from other types of \s-1BIO\s0 which will typically return
284 1 for success and a non positive value if an error occurred.
