       The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can
       be hidden entirely by defining OPENSSL_API_COMPAT with a suitable
       version value, see openssl_user_macros(7):

DESCRIPTION

       BIO_set_callback_ex() and BIO_get_callback_ex() set and retrieve the
       BIO callback. The callback is called during most high-level BIO
       operations. It can be used for debugging purposes to trace operations
       on a BIO or to modify its operation.

       BIO_set_callback(3) and BIO_get_callback() set and retrieve the old
       format BIO callback. New code should not use these functions, but they
       are retained for backwards compatibility. Any callback set via
       BIO_set_callback_ex() will get called in preference to any set by
       BIO_set_callback(3).

       BIO_set_callback_arg() and BIO_get_callback_arg() are macros which can
       be used to set and retrieve an argument for use in the callback.

       BIO_debug_callback_ex() is a standard debugging callback which prints
       out information relating to each BIO operation. If the callback
       argument is set it is interpreted as a BIO to send the information to,
       otherwise stderr is used. The BIO_debug_callback() function is the
       deprecated version of the same callback for use with the old callback
       format BIO_set_callback(3) function.

       BIO_callback_fn_ex is the type of the callback function and
       BIO_callback_fn is the type of the old format callback function. The
       meaning of each argument is described below:

       b   The BIO the callback is attached to is passed in b.

       oper
           oper is set to the operation being performed. For some operations
           the callback is called twice, once before and once after the actual
           operation, the latter case has oper or'ed with BIO_CB_RETURN.

       len The length of the data requested to be read or written. This is
           only useful if oper is BIO_CB_READ, BIO_CB_WRITE or BIO_CB_GETS.

       argp argi argl
           The meaning of the arguments argp, argi and argl depends on the
           value of oper, that is the operation being performed.

       processed
           processed is a pointer to a location which will be updated with the
           amount of data that was actually read or written. Only used for
           BIO_CB_READ, BIO_CB_WRITE, BIO_CB_GETS and BIO_CB_PUTS.

       ret ret is the return value that would be returned to the application
           if no callback were present. The actual value returned is the
           return value of the callback itself. In the case of callbacks
           called before the actual BIO operation 1 is placed in ret, if the
           return value is not positive it will be immediately returned to the
           application and the BIO operation will not be performed.

       The callback should normally simply return ret when it has finished
       processing, unless it specifically wishes to modify the value returned
       to the application.


CALLBACK OPERATIONS

       In the notes below, callback defers to the actual callback function
       that is called.

       BIO_free(b)
            callback_ex(b, BIO_CB_FREE, NULL, 0, 0, 0L, 1L, NULL)

           or

            callback(b, BIO_CB_FREE, NULL, 0L, 0L, 1L)

           is called before the free operation.

       BIO_read_ex(b, data, dlen, readbytes)
            callback_ex(b, BIO_CB_READ, data, dlen, 0, 0L, 1L, NULL)

           or

            callback(b, BIO_CB_READ, data, dlen, 0L, 1L)

           is called before the read and

            callback_ex(b, BIO_CB_READ | BIO_CB_RETURN, data, dlen, 0, 0L, retvalue,
                        &readbytes)

           or

            callback(b, BIO_CB_READ|BIO_CB_RETURN, data, dlen, 0L, retvalue)

           after.

       BIO_write(b, data, dlen, written)
            callback_ex(b, BIO_CB_WRITE, data, dlen, 0, 0L, 1L, NULL)

           or

            callback(b, BIO_CB_WRITE, datat, dlen, 0L, 1L)

           is called before the write and

            callback_ex(b, BIO_CB_WRITE | BIO_CB_RETURN, data, dlen, 0, 0L, retvalue,
                        &written)

           or

            callback(b, BIO_CB_WRITE|BIO_CB_RETURN, data, dlen, 0L, retvalue)

           after.

       BIO_gets(b, buf, size)
            callback_ex(b, BIO_CB_GETS, buf, size, 0, 0L, 1, NULL, NULL)

           or

            callback(b, BIO_CB_GETS, buf, size, 0L, 1L)

           is called before the operation and

            callback_ex(b, BIO_CB_GETS | BIO_CB_RETURN, buf, size, 0, 0L, retvalue,
                        &readbytes)

           or

            callback(b, BIO_CB_GETS|BIO_CB_RETURN, buf, size, 0L, retvalue)

           after.

       BIO_puts(b, buf)
            callback_ex(b, BIO_CB_PUTS, buf, 0, 0, 0L, 1L, NULL);

           or

            callback(b, BIO_CB_PUTS, buf, 0, 0L, 1L)

           is called before the operation and

            callback_ex(b, BIO_CB_PUTS | BIO_CB_RETURN, buf, 0, 0, 0L, retvalue, &written)

           or

            callback(b, BIO_CB_PUTS|BIO_CB_RETURN, buf, 0, 0L, retvalue)

           after.

       BIO_ctrl(BIO *b, int cmd, long larg, void *parg)
            callback_ex(b, BIO_CB_CTRL, parg, 0, cmd, larg, 1L, NULL)

           or

            callback(b, BIO_CB_CTRL, parg, cmd, larg, 1L)

           is called before the call and

            callback_ex(b, BIO_CB_CTRL | BIO_CB_RETURN, parg, 0, cmd, larg, ret, NULL)

           or

            callback(b, BIO_CB_CTRL|BIO_CB_RETURN, parg, cmd, larg, ret)

           after.

           Note: cmd == BIO_CTRL_SET_CALLBACK is special, because parg is not
           the argument of type BIO_info_cb itself.  In this case parg is a
           pointer to the actual call parameter, see BIO_callback_ctrl.

       BIO_sendmmsg(BIO *b, BIO_MSG *msg, size_t stride, size_t num_msg,
       uint64_t flags, size_t *msgs_processed)
             callback_ex(b, BIO_CB_SENDMMSG, args, 0, 0, 0, 1, NULL)

           or

             callback(b, BIO_CB_SENDMMSG, args, 0, 0, 1)

           is called before the call and

             callback_ex(b, BIO_CB_SENDMMSG | BIO_CB_RETURN, args, ret, 0, 0, ret, NULL)

           or

             callback(b, BIO_CB_SENDMMSG | BIO_CB_RETURN, args, ret, 0, 0, ret)

           after.

           args is a pointer to a BIO_MMSG_CB_ARGS structure containing the
           arguments passed to BIO_sendmmsg(). ret is the return value of the
           BIO_sendmmsg() call.  The return value of BIO_sendmmsg() is altered
           to the value returned by the BIO_CB_SENDMMSG | BIO_CB_RETURN call.

       BIO_recvmmsg(BIO *b, BIO_MSG *msg, size_t stride, size_t num_msg,
       uint64_t flags, size_t *msgs_processed)
           See the documentation for BIO_sendmmsg(). BIO_recvmmsg() works
           identically except that BIO_CB_RECVMMSG is used instead of
           BIO_CB_SENDMMSG.


RETURN VALUES

       BIO_get_callback_ex() and BIO_get_callback() return the callback
       function previously set by a call to BIO_set_callback_ex() and
       BIO_set_callback(3) respectively.

       BIO_get_callback_arg() returns a char pointer to the value previously
       set via a call to BIO_set_callback_arg().

       BIO_debug_callback() returns 1 or ret if it's called after specific BIO
       operations.


EXAMPLES

       The BIO_debug_callback_ex() function is an example, its source is in
       crypto/bio/bio_cb.c


HISTORY

       The BIO_debug_callback_ex() function was added in OpenSSL 3.0.

       BIO_set_callback(3), BIO_get_callback(), and BIO_debug_callback() were
       deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0. Use the non-deprecated _ex functions
       instead.
