\&\fIBIO_gets()\fR performs the BIOs \*(L"gets\*(R" operation and places the data
|
|
in \fBbuf\fR. Usually this operation will attempt to read a line of data
|
|
from the \s-1BIO\s0 of maximum length \fBlen\fR. There are exceptions to this
|
|
however, for example \fIBIO_gets()\fR on a digest \s-1BIO\s0 will calculate and
|
|
return the digest and other BIOs may not support \fIBIO_gets()\fR at all.

.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
|
|
All these functions return either the amount of data successfully read or
|
|
written (if the return value is positive) or that no data was successfully
|
|
read or written if the result is 0 or \-1. If the return value is \-2 then
|
|
the operation is not implemented in the specific \s-1BIO\s0 type.
|
|
.SH "NOTES"
|
|
.IX Header "NOTES"
|
|
A 0 or \-1 return is not necessarily an indication of an error. In
|
|
particular when the source/sink is non-blocking or of a certain type
|
|
it may merely be an indication that no data is currently available and that
|
|
the application should retry the operation later.
|
|
.PP
|
|
One technique sometimes used with blocking sockets is to use a system call
|
|
(such as \fIselect()\fR, \fIpoll()\fR or equivalent) to determine when data is available
|
|
and then call \fIread()\fR to read the data. The equivalent with BIOs (that is call
|
|
\&\fIselect()\fR on the underlying I/O structure and then call \fIBIO_read()\fR to
|
|
read the data) should \fBnot\fR be used because a single call to \fIBIO_read()\fR
|
|
can cause several reads (and writes in the case of \s-1SSL\s0 BIOs) on the underlying
|
|
I/O structure and may block as a result. Instead \fIselect()\fR (or equivalent)
|
|
should be combined with non blocking I/O so successive reads will request
|
|
a retry instead of blocking.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See BIO_should_retry(3) for details of how to
|
|
determine the cause of a retry and other I/O issues.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If the \fIBIO_gets()\fR function is not supported by a \s-1BIO\s0 then it possible to
|
|
work around this by adding a buffering \s-1BIO\s0 BIO_f_buffer(3)
|
|
to the chain.
