DESCRIPTION
       BIO_f_ssl() returns the SSL BIO method. This is a filter BIO which is a
       wrapper round the OpenSSL SSL routines adding a BIO "flavour" to SSL
       I/O.

       I/O performed on an SSL BIO communicates using the SSL protocol with
       the SSLs read and write BIOs. If an SSL connection is not established
       then an attempt is made to establish one on the first I/O call.

       If a BIO is appended to an SSL BIO using BIO_push() it is automatically
       used as the SSL BIOs read and write BIOs.

       Calling BIO_reset() on an SSL BIO closes down any current SSL
       connection by calling SSL_shutdown(). BIO_reset() is then sent to the
       next BIO in the chain: this will typically disconnect the underlying
       transport.  The SSL BIO is then reset to the initial accept or connect
       state.

       If the close flag is set when an SSL BIO is freed then the internal SSL
       structure is also freed using SSL_free().

       BIO_set_ssl() sets the internal SSL pointer of BIO b to ssl using the
       close flag c.

       BIO_get_ssl() retrieves the SSL pointer of BIO b, it can then be
       manipulated using the standard SSL library functions.

       BIO_set_ssl_mode() sets the SSL BIO mode to client. If client is 1
       client mode is set. If client is 0 server mode is set.

       BIO_set_ssl_renegotiate_bytes() sets the renegotiate byte count to num.
       When set after every num bytes of I/O (read and write) the SSL session
       is automatically renegotiated. num must be at least 512 bytes.

       BIO_set_ssl_renegotiate_timeout() sets the renegotiate timeout to
       seconds. When the renegotiate timeout elapses the session is
       automatically renegotiated.

       BIO_get_num_renegotiates() returns the total number of session
       renegotiations due to I/O or timeout.

       BIO_new_ssl() allocates an SSL BIO using SSL_CTX ctx and using client
       mode if client is non zero.

       BIO_new_ssl_connect() creates a new BIO chain consisting of an SSL BIO
       (using ctx) followed by a connect BIO.

       BIO_new_buffer_ssl_connect() creates a new BIO chain consisting of a
       buffering BIO, an SSL BIO (using ctx) and a connect BIO.

       BIO_ssl_copy_session_id() copies an SSL session id between BIO chains
       from and to. It does this by locating the SSL BIOs in each chain and
       calling SSL_copy_session_id() on the internal SSL pointer.

       BIO_ssl_shutdown() closes down an SSL connection on BIO chain bio. It
       does this by locating the SSL BIO in the chain and calling
       SSL_shutdown() on its internal SSL pointer.

       BIO_do_handshake() attempts to complete an SSL handshake on the
       supplied BIO and establish the SSL connection. It returns 1 if the
       connection was established successfully. A zero or negative value is
       returned if the connection could not be established, the call
       BIO_should_retry() should be used for non blocking connect BIOs to
       determine if the call should be retried. If an SSL connection has
       already been established this call has no effect.

NOTES
       SSL BIOs are exceptional in that if the underlying transport is non
       blocking they can still request a retry in exceptional circumstances.
       Specifically this will happen if a session renegotiation takes place
       during a BIO_read() operation, one case where this happens is when step
       up occurs.

       In OpenSSL 0.9.6 and later the SSL flag SSL_AUTO_RETRY can be set to
       disable this behaviour. That is when this flag is set an SSL BIO using
       a blocking transport will never request a retry.

       Since unknown BIO_ctrl() operations are sent through filter BIOs the
       servers name and port can be set using BIO_set_host() on the BIO
       returned by BIO_new_ssl_connect() without having to locate the connect
       BIO first.

       Applications do not have to call BIO_do_handshake() but may wish to do
       so to separate the handshake process from other I/O processing.

EXAMPLE
       This SSL/TLS client example, attempts to retrieve a page from an
       SSL/TLS web server. The I/O routines are identical to those of the
       unencrypted example in BIO_s_connect(3).

	 * mode here because as things stand this will connect to
	 * any server whose certificate is signed by any CA.
	 */

	sbio = BIO_new_ssl_connect(ctx);

	BIO_get_ssl(sbio, &ssl);

	if(!ssl) {
	  fprintf(stderr, "Can't locate SSL pointer\n");
	  /* whatever ... */
	}

       Here is a simple server example. It makes use of a buffering BIO to
       allow lines to be read from the SSL BIO using BIO_gets.	It creates a

       echoes the request to standard output.

BUGS
       In OpenSSL versions before 1.0.0 the BIO_pop() call was handled
       incorrectly, the I/O BIO reference count was incorrectly incremented
       (instead of decremented) and dissociated with the SSL BIO even if the
       SSL BIO was not explicitly being popped (e.g. a pop higher up the
       chain). Applications which included workarounds for this bug (e.g.
       freeing BIOs more than once) should be modified to handle this fix or
       they may free up an already freed BIO.
