\& BIO_METHOD *BIO_s_socket(void);

.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBBIO_s_socket()\fR returns the socket BIO method. This is a wrapper
round the platform's socket routines.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_read()\fR and \fBBIO_write()\fR read or write the underlying socket.
\&\fBBIO_puts()\fR is supported but \fBBIO_gets()\fR is not.
.PP
If the close flag is set then the socket is shut down and closed
when the BIO is freed.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_set_fd()\fR sets the socket of BIO \fBb\fR to \fBfd\fR and the close
flag to \fBclose_flag\fR.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_get_fd()\fR places the socket in \fBc\fR if it is not NULL, it also
returns the socket. If \fBc\fR is not NULL it should be of type (int *).
.PP
\&\fBBIO_new_socket()\fR returns a socket BIO using \fBsock\fR and \fBclose_flag\fR.
.SH NOTES
.IX Header "NOTES"
Socket BIOs also support any relevant functionality of file descriptor
BIOs.
.PP
The reason for having separate file descriptor and socket BIOs is that on some
platforms sockets are not file descriptors and use distinct I/O routines,
Windows is one such platform. Any code mixing the two will not work on
all platforms.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_set_fd()\fR and \fBBIO_get_fd()\fR are macros.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBBIO_s_socket()\fR returns the socket BIO method.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_set_fd()\fR always returns 1.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_get_fd()\fR returns the socket or \-1 if the BIO has not been
initialized.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_new_socket()\fR returns the newly allocated BIO or NULL is an error
occurred.
