Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

Title "BIO_S_CORE 3ossl" For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
BIO_s_core, BIO_new_from_core_bio - OSSL_CORE_BIO functions Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/bio.h> \& const BIO_METHOD *BIO_s_core(void); \& BIO *BIO_new_from_core_bio(OSSL_LIB_CTX *libctx, OSSL_CORE_BIO *corebio); .Ve Header "DESCRIPTION" \fBBIO_s_core() returns the core BIO method function.

A core BIO is treated as source/sink BIO which communicates to some external BIO. This is primarily useful to provider authors. A number of calls from libcrypto into a provider supply an OSSL_CORE_BIO parameter. This represents a BIO within libcrypto, but cannot be used directly by a provider. Instead it should be wrapped using a BIO_s_core().

Once a BIO is constructed based on BIO_s_core(), the associated OSSL_CORE_BIO object should be set on it using BIO_set_data\|(3). Note that the BIO will only operate correctly if it is associated with a library context constructed using \fBOSSL_LIB_CTX_new_from_dispatch\|(3). To associate the BIO with a library context construct it using BIO_new_ex\|(3).

\fBBIO_new_from_core_bio() is a convenience function that constructs a new BIO based on BIO_s_core() and that is associated with the given library context. It then also sets the OSSL_CORE_BIO object on the BIO using BIO_set_data\|(3).

Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBBIO_s_core() return a core BIO BIO_METHOD structure.

\fBBIO_new_from_core_bio() returns a BIO structure on success or NULL on failure. A failure will most commonly be because the library context was not constructed using OSSL_LIB_CTX_new_from_dispatch\|(3).

Header "HISTORY" \fBBIO_s_core() and BIO_new_from_core_bio() were added in OpenSSL 3.0. Header "EXAMPLES" Create a core BIO and write some data to it:

.Vb 2 int some_function(OSSL_LIB_CTX *libctx, OSSL_CORE_BIO *corebio) { BIO *cbio = BIO_new_from_core_bio(libctx, corebio); \& if (cbio == NULL) return 0; \& BIO_puts(cbio, "Hello World\en"); \& BIO_free(cbio); return 1; } .Ve
