.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Fn BIO_set_callback
and
.Fn BIO_get_callback
set and retrieve the BIO callback.
The callback is called during most high level BIO operations.
It can be used for debugging purposes to trace operations on a BIO
or to modify its operation.
.Pp
.Fn BIO_set_callback_arg
and
.Fn BIO_get_callback_arg
set and retrieve an argument for use in the callback.
.Pp
.Fn BIO_debug_callback
is a standard debugging callback which prints
out information relating to each BIO operation.
If the callback argument is set, it is interpreted as a BIO
to send the information to, otherwise stderr is used.
.Pp
.Fn BIO_callback_fn
is the type of the callback function.
The meaning of each argument is described below.
.Pp
The BIO the callback is attached to is passed in
.Fa b .
.Pp
.Fa oper
is set to the operation being performed.
For some operations the callback is called twice,
once before and once after the actual operation.
The latter case has
.Fa oper
or'ed with
.Dv BIO_CB_RETURN .
.Pp
The meaning of the arguments
.Fa argp ,
.Fa argi
and
.Fa argl
depends on the value of
.Fa oper
(i.e. the operation being performed).
.Pp
When
.Fa oper
does not include
.Dv BIO_CB_RETURN ,
i.e. when the callback is invoked before an operation,
the value passed into the callback via
.Fa ret
is always 1.
In this case, if the callback returns a negative value, the library
aborts the requested operation and instead returns the negative
return value from the callback to the application.
If the callback returns a non-negative value, that return value is
ignored by the library, and the operation is performed normally.
.Pp
When
.Fa oper
includes
.Dv BIO_CB_RETURN ,
i.e. when the callback is invoked after an operation,
the value passed into the callback via
.Fa ret
is the return value that the operation would return to the application
if no callback were present.
When a callback is present, the operation only passes this value
to the callback and instead of it returns the return value of the
callback to the application.
.Pp
The callback should normally simply return
.Fa ret
when it has finished processing, unless it specifically wishes to
abort the operation or to modify the value returned to the application.
.Ss Callback operations
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fn BIO_free b
.Fn callback b BIO_CB_FREE NULL 0L 0L 1L
is called before the free operation.
.It Fn BIO_read b out outl
.Fn callback b BIO_CB_READ out outl 0L 1L
is called before the read and
.Fn callback b BIO_CB_READ|BIO_CB_RETURN out outl 0L ret
after.
.It Fn BIO_write b in inl
.Fn callback b BIO_CB_WRITE in inl 0L 1L
is called before the write and
.Fn callback b BIO_CB_WRITE|BIO_CB_RETURN in inl 0L ret
after.
.It Fn BIO_gets b out outl
.Fn callback b BIO_CB_GETS out outl 0L 1L
is called before the operation and
.Fn callback b BIO_CB_GETS|BIO_CB_RETURN out outl 0L ret
after.
.It Fn BIO_puts b in
.Fn callback b BIO_CB_PUTS in 0 0L 1L
is called before the operation and
.Fn callback b BIO_CB_PUTS|BIO_CB_RETURN in 0 0L ret
after.
.It Fn BIO_ctrl b oper larg parg
.Fn callback b BIO_CB_CTRL parg oper larg 1L
is called before the call and
.Fn callback b BIO_CB_CTRL|BIO_CB_RETURN parg oper larg ret
after.
.El
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn BIO_get_callback
returns a pointer to the function
.Fa cb
previously installed with
.Fn BIO_set_callback ,
or
.Dv NULL
if no callback was installed.
.Pp
.Fn BIO_get_callback_arg
returns a pointer to the
.Fa arg
previously set with
.Fn BIO_set_callback_arg ,
or
.Dv NULL
if no such argument was set.
.Pp
.Fn BIO_debug_callback
returns
.Fa ret
if the bit
.Dv BIO_CB_RETURN
is set in
.Fa cmd ,
or 1 otherwise.
.Sh EXAMPLES
The
.Fn BIO_debug_callback
function is a good example.
