These +functions and macros are used primarily by B<BIO> implementations and by code +that builds B<BIO> chains to manipulate those flags. + +BIO_set_flags() sets the bits given in I<flags> in the B<BIO> I<b>. Any bits +already set in the B<BIO>'s flag word remain set. + +BIO_clear_flags() clears the bits given in I<flags> from the B<BIO> I<b>. Any +other bits in the flag word are left unchanged. + +BIO_test_flags() tests the bits given in I<flags> in the B<BIO> I<b> and +returns a nonzero value if any of them are currently set and zero +otherwise. + +BIO_get_flags() returns the current flag word from the B<BIO> I<b>. This is +equivalent to testing for all bits and returning the result. + +The following convenience macros are built on top of these primitives and are +used to maintain the retry state of a BIO: + +BIO_set_retry_read() marks the B<BIO> I<b> as being in a retryable state +by setting the B<BIO_FLAGS_SHOULD_RETRY> flag. In addition, it sets the +B<BIO_FLAGS_READ> flag to indicate that the retry condition is +associated with a read operation. + +BIO_set_retry_write() marks the B<BIO> I<b> as being in a retryable state +by setting the B<BIO_FLAGS_SHOULD_RETRY> flag. In addition, it sets the +B<BIO_FLAGS_WRITE> flag to indicate that the retry condition is +associated with a write operation. + +BIO_set_retry_special() marks the B<BIO> I<b> as being in a retryable state +by setting the B<BIO_FLAGS_SHOULD_RETRY> flag. In addition, it sets the +B<BIO_FLAGS_IO_SPECIAL> flag to indicate that the retry condition is +associated with a read operation some "special" condition. +The precise meaning of this condition depends on the B<BIO> type. + +BIO_clear_retry_flags() clears all retry-related bits from I<b>, i.e. +B<BIO_FLAGS_READ>, B<BIO_FLAGS_WRITE>, B<BIO_FLAGS_IO_SPECIAL>, and +B<BIO_FLAGS_SHOULD_RETRY>. + +BIO_get_retry_flags() returns retry-related bits that are +currently set in I<b>. The result is a subset of +B<BIO_FLAGS_RWS|BIO_FLAGS_SHOULD_RETRY>. + +The retry bits are interpreted by the higher level macros +BIO_should_read(), BIO_should_write(), BIO_should_io_special(), +BIO_retry_type() and BIO_should_retry(), as documented in +L<BIO_should_retry(3)>. Application code will typically use those macros +rather than manipulate the underlying flags directly. + +The following flag bits are currently defined for use with BIO_set_flags(), +BIO_clear_flags() and BIO_test_flags(): + +=over 4 + +=item B<BIO_FLAGS_READ> + +The last I/O operation should be retried when the B<BIO> becomes readable. +This flag is normally set by the B<BIO> implementation via BIO_set_retry_read() +after a failed read operation. + +=item B<BIO_FLAGS_WRITE> + +The last I/O operation should be retried when the B<BIO> becomes writable. +This flag is normally set by the B<BIO> implementation via BIO_set_retry_write() +after a failed write operation. + +=item B<BIO_FLAGS_IO_SPECIAL> + +The last I/O operation should be retried when some "special" condition +becomes true. The precise meaning of this condition depends on the B<BIO> +type and is usually obtained via BIO_get_retry_BIO() and +BIO_get_retry_reason() as described in L<BIO_should_retry(3)>. +This flag is normally set by the B<BIO> implementation via +BIO_set_retry_special(). + +=item B<BIO_FLAGS_RWS> + +The bitwise OR of B<BIO_FLAGS_READ>, B<BIO_FLAGS_WRITE> and +B<BIO_FLAGS_IO_SPECIAL>. This mask is used when clearing or extracting +the retry-direction bits. + +=item B<BIO_FLAGS_SHOULD_RETRY> + +Set if the last I/O operation on the B<BIO> should be retried at a later time. +If this bit is not set then the condition is treated as an error. +This flag is normally set by the B<BIO> implementation. + +=item B<BIO_FLAGS_BASE64_NO_NL> + +When set on a base64 filter B<BIO> this flag disables the generation of +newline characters in the encoded output and causes newlines to be ignored +in the input. See also L<BIO_f_base64(3)>. +The flag has no effect on any other built-in B<BIO> types. + +=item B<BIO_FLAGS_MEM_RDONLY> + +When set on a memory B<BIO> this flag indicates that the underlying buffer is +read only. Attempts to write to such a B<BIO> will fail. +The flag has no effect on any other built-in B<BIO> types. + +=item B<BIO_FLAGS_NONCLEAR_RST> + +On a memory B<BIO> this flag modifies the behaviour of BIO_reset(). When it +is set, resetting the B<BIO> does not clear the underlying buffer but only +resets the current read position. +The flag has no effect on any other built-in B<BIO> types. + +=item B<BIO_FLAGS_IN_EOF> + +This flag may be used by a B<BIO> implementation to indicate that the end +of the input stream has been reached. However, B<BIO> types are not +required to use this flag to signal end-of-file conditions; they may rely +on other mechanisms such as system calls or by querying the next B<BIO> in a +chain. Applications must therefore not test this flag directly to +determine whether EOF has been reached, and must use BIO_eof() instead. + +=back + +A range of additional flag values is reserved for internal use by OpenSSL +to track kernel TLS (KTLS) state. This range and the corresponding flag +macros are not part of the public API and must not be used by applications. + +=head1 RETURN VALUES + +BIO_get_flags() returns a bit mask of the flags currently set on the B<BIO>. + +BIO_test_flags() returns a bit mask consisting of those flags from the +argument that are currently set in the B<BIO>. Consequently, it returns a +nonzero value if and only if at least one of the requested flags is set. + +BIO_get_retry_flags() returns a bit mask consisting of those flags from +B<BIO_FLAGS_READ>, B<BIO_FLAGS_WRITE>, B<BIO_FLAGS_IO_SPECIAL>, and +B<BIO_FLAGS_SHOULD_RETRY> that are currently set in the I<BIO>. + +=head1 NOTES + +Ordinary application code will rarely need to call BIO_set_flags(), +BIO_clear_flags() or BIO_test_flags() directly. They are intended for B<BIO> +implementations and for code that forwards retry state from one B<BIO> in a +chain to another. +After a failed I/O operation, applications should normally use +BIO_should_retry() and related macros as described in +L<BIO_should_retry(3)> instead of inspecting the flags directly. + +These functions and macros are not thread-safe. If a single B<BIO> +is accessed from multiple threads, the caller must provide appropriate +external synchronisation. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L<BIO_should_retry(3)>, L<BIO_f_base64(3)>, L<bio(7)> + +=head1 HISTORY + +The functions and macros described here have been available in OpenSSL since +at least 1.1.0 (B<BIO_FLAGS_IN_EOF> since 1.1.1). + +=head1 COPYRIGHT + +Copyright 2025 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
