BIO_push(3)                         OpenSSL                        BIO_push(3)

NAME
       BIO_push, BIO_pop - add and remove BIOs from a chain.
SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/bio.h>
        BIO *  BIO_push(BIO *b,BIO *append);
        BIO *  BIO_pop(BIO *b);
DESCRIPTION
       The BIO_push() function appends the BIO append to b, it returns b.
       BIO_pop() removes the BIO b from a chain and returns the next BIO in
       the chain, or NULL if there is no next BIO. The removed BIO then
       becomes a single BIO with no association with the original chain, it
       can thus be freed or attached to a different chain.
NOTES
       The names of these functions are perhaps a little misleading.
       BIO_push() joins two BIO chains whereas BIO_pop() deletes a single BIO
       from a chain, the deleted BIO does not need to be at the end of a
       chain.
       The process of calling BIO_push() and BIO_pop() on a BIO may have
       additional consequences (a control call is made to the affected BIOs)
       any effects will be noted in the descriptions of individual BIOs.
EXAMPLES
       For these examples suppose md1 and md2 are digest BIOs, b64 is a base64
       BIO and f is a file BIO.
       If the call:
        BIO_push(b64, f);
       is made then the new chain will be b64-f. After making the calls
        BIO_push(md2, b64);
        BIO_push(md1, md2);
       the new chain is md1-md2-b64-f. Data written to md1 will be digested by
       md1 and md2, base64 encoded and written to f.
       It should be noted that reading causes data to pass in the reverse
       direction, that is data is read from f, base64 decoded and digested by
       md1 and md2. If the call:
        BIO_pop(md2);
       The call will return b64 and the new chain will be md1-b64-f data can
       be written to md1 as before.
RETURN VALUES
       BIO_push() returns the end of the chain, b.
       BIO_pop() returns the next BIO in the chain, or NULL if there is no
       next BIO.
