NAME
BIO_set_data, BIO_get_data, BIO_set_init, BIO_get_init, BIO_set_shutdown, BIO_get_shutdown - functions for
managing BIO state information

SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/bio.h>

void BIO_set_data(BIO *a, void *ptr);
void *BIO_get_data(BIO *a);
void BIO_set_init(BIO *a, int init);
int BIO_get_init(BIO *a);
void BIO_set_shutdown(BIO *a, int shut);
int BIO_get_shutdown(BIO *a);

DESCRIPTION
These functions are mainly useful when implementing a custom BIO.

The BIO_set_data() function associates the custom data pointed to by ptr with the BIO. This data can subsequently
be retrieved via a call to BIO_get_data(). This can be used by custom BIOs for storing implementation specific
information.

The BIO_set_init() function sets the value of the BIO's "init" flag to indicate whether initialisation has been
completed for this BIO or not. A nonzero value indicates that initialisation is complete, whilst zero indicates
that it is not. Often initialisation will complete during initial construction of the BIO. For some BIOs
however, initialisation may not complete until after additional steps have occurred (for example through calling
custom ctrls). The BIO_get_init() function returns the value of the "init" flag.

The BIO_set_shutdown() and BIO_get_shutdown() functions set and get the state of this BIO's shutdown (i.e.
BIO_CLOSE) flag. If set then the underlying resource is also closed when the BIO is freed.

RETURN VALUES
BIO_get_data() returns a pointer to the implementation specific custom data associated with this BIO, or NULL if
none has been set.

BIO_get_init() returns the state of the BIO's init flag.

BIO_get_shutdown() returns the stat of the BIO's shutdown (i.e. BIO_CLOSE) flag.
