.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBBIO_f_buffer()\fR returns the buffering BIO method.
.PP
Data written to a buffering BIO is buffered and periodically written
to the next BIO in the chain. Data read from a buffering BIO comes from
an internal buffer which is filled from the next BIO in the chain.
Both \fBBIO_gets()\fR and \fBBIO_puts()\fR are supported.
.PP
Calling \fBBIO_reset()\fR on a buffering BIO clears any buffered data.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_get_buffer_num_lines()\fR returns the number of lines currently buffered.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_set_read_buffer_size()\fR, \fBBIO_set_write_buffer_size()\fR and \fBBIO_set_buffer_size()\fR
set the read, write or both read and write buffer sizes to \fBsize\fR. The initial
buffer size is DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE, currently 4096. Any attempt to reduce the
buffer size below DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE is ignored. Any buffered data is cleared
when the buffer is resized.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_set_buffer_read_data()\fR clears the read buffer and fills it with \fBnum\fR
bytes of \fBbuf\fR. If \fBnum\fR is larger than the current buffer size the buffer
is expanded.
.SH NOTES
.IX Header "NOTES"
Buffering BIOs implement \fBBIO_gets()\fR by using \fBBIO_read()\fR operations on the
next BIO in the chain. By prepending a buffering BIO to a chain it is therefore
possible to provide \fBBIO_gets()\fR functionality if the following BIOs do not
support it (for example SSL BIOs).
.PP
Data is only written to the next BIO in the chain when the write buffer fills
or when \fBBIO_flush()\fR is called. It is therefore important to call \fBBIO_flush()\fR
whenever any pending data should be written such as when removing a buffering
BIO using \fBBIO_pop()\fR. \fBBIO_flush()\fR may need to be retried if the ultimate
source/sink BIO is non blocking.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBBIO_f_buffer()\fR returns the buffering BIO method.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_get_buffer_num_lines()\fR returns the number of lines buffered (may be 0).
.PP
\&\fBBIO_set_read_buffer_size()\fR, \fBBIO_set_write_buffer_size()\fR and \fBBIO_set_buffer_size()\fR
return 1 if the buffer was successfully resized or 0 for failure.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_set_buffer_read_data()\fR returns 1 if the data was set correctly or 0 if
there was an error.
