.SH NAME
BIO_find_type, BIO_next, BIO_method_type \- BIO chain traversal
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 1
\& #include <openssl/bio.h>
\&
\& BIO *BIO_find_type(BIO *b, int bio_type);
\& BIO *BIO_next(BIO *b);
\& int BIO_method_type(const BIO *b);
.Ve
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \fBBIO_find_type()\fR searches for a \fBBIO\fR of a given type in a chain, starting
at \fBBIO\fR \fIb\fR. If \fItype\fR is a specific type (such as \fBBIO_TYPE_MEM\fR) then a
search is made for a \fBBIO\fR of that type. If \fItype\fR is a general type (such as
\&\fBBIO_TYPE_SOURCE_SINK\fR) then the next matching \fBBIO\fR of the given general type is
searched for. \fBBIO_find_type()\fR returns the next matching \fBBIO\fR or NULL if none is
found. If \fItype\fR is \fBBIO_TYPE_NONE\fR it will not find a match.
.PP
The following general types are defined:
\&\fBBIO_TYPE_DESCRIPTOR\fR, \fBBIO_TYPE_FILTER\fR, and \fBBIO_TYPE_SOURCE_SINK\fR.
.PP
For a list of the specific types, see the \fI<openssl/bio.h>\fR header file.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_next()\fR returns the next BIO in a chain. It can be used to traverse all BIOs
in a chain or used in conjunction with \fBBIO_find_type()\fR to find all BIOs of a
certain type.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_method_type()\fR returns the type of a BIO.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBBIO_find_type()\fR returns a matching BIO or NULL for no match.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_next()\fR returns the next BIO in a chain.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_method_type()\fR returns the type of the BIO \fIb\fR.
.SH EXAMPLES
.IX Header "EXAMPLES"
Traverse a chain looking for digest BIOs:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& BIO *btmp;
\&
\& btmp = in_bio; /* in_bio is chain to search through */
\& do {
\&     btmp = BIO_find_type(btmp, BIO_TYPE_MD);
\&     if (btmp == NULL)
\&         break; /* Not found */
\&     /* btmp is a digest BIO, do something with it ...*/
\&     ...
\&
\&     btmp = BIO_next(btmp);
\& } while (btmp);
