+=head1 NAME
+
+PEM_bytes_read_bio, PEM_bytes_read_bio_secmem - read a PEM-encoded data structure from a BIO
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/pem.h>
+
+ int PEM_bytes_read_bio(unsigned char **pdata, long *plen, char **pnm,
+ const char *name, BIO *bp, pem_password_cb *cb,
+ void *u);
+ int PEM_bytes_read_bio_secmem(unsigned char **pdata, long *plen, char **pnm,
+ const char *name, BIO *bp, pem_password_cb *cb,
+ void *u);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+PEM_bytes_read_bio() reads PEM-formatted (RFC 1421) data from the BIO
+I<bp> for the data type given in I<name> (RSA PRIVATE KEY, CERTIFICATE,
+etc.). If multiple PEM-encoded data structures are present in the same
+stream, PEM_bytes_read_bio() will skip non-matching data types and
+continue reading. Non-PEM data present in the stream may cause an
+error.
+
+The PEM header may indicate that the following data is encrypted; if so,
+the data will be decrypted, waiting on user input to supply a passphrase
+if needed. The password callback I<cb> and rock I<u> are used to obtain
+the decryption passphrase, if applicable.
+
+Some data types have compatibility aliases, such as a file containing
+X509 CERTIFICATE matching a request for the deprecated type CERTIFICATE.
+The actual type indicated by the file is returned in I<*pnm> if I<pnm> is
+non-NULL. The caller must free the storage pointed to by I<*pnm>.
+
+The returned data is the DER-encoded form of the requested type, in
+I<*pdata> with length I<*plen>. The caller must free the storage pointed
+to by I<*pdata>.
+
+PEM_bytes_read_bio_secmem() is similar to PEM_bytes_read_bio(), but uses
+memory from the secure heap for its temporary buffers and the storage
+returned in I<*pdata> and I<*pnm>. Accordingly, the caller must use
+OPENSSL_secure_free() to free that storage.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+PEM_bytes_read_bio_secmem() only enforces that the secure heap is used for
+storage allocated within the PEM processing stack. The BIO stack from
+which input is read may also use temporary buffers, which are not necessarily
+allocated from the secure heap. In cases where it is desirable to ensure
+that the contents of the PEM file only appears in memory from the secure heap,
+care is needed in generating the BIO passed as I<bp>. In particular, the
+use of BIO_s_file() indicates the use of the operating system stdio
+functionality, which includes buffering as a feature; BIO_s_fd() is likely
+to be more appropriate in such cases.
+
+These functions make no assumption regarding the pass phrase received from the
+password callback.
+It will simply be treated as a byte sequence.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+PEM_bytes_read_bio() and PEM_bytes_read_bio_secmem() return 1 for success or
+0 for failure.
