=head1 NAME
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
BIO_f_readbuffer
 | 
						|
- read only buffering BIO that supports BIO_tell() and BIO_seek()
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 #include <openssl/bio.h>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 const BIO_METHOD *BIO_f_readbuffer(void);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
BIO_f_readbuffer() returns the read buffering BIO method.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This BIO filter can be inserted on top of BIO's that do not support BIO_tell()
 | 
						|
or BIO_seek() (e.g. A file BIO that uses stdin).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Data read from a read buffering BIO comes from an internal buffer which is
 | 
						|
filled from the next BIO in the chain.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
BIO_gets() is supported for read buffering BIOs.
 | 
						|
Writing data to a read buffering BIO is not supported.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Calling BIO_reset() on a read buffering BIO does not clear any buffered data.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 NOTES
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Read buffering BIOs implement BIO_read_ex() by using BIO_read_ex() operations
 | 
						|
on the next BIO (e.g. a file BIO) in the chain and storing the result in an
 | 
						|
internal buffer, from which bytes are given back to the caller as appropriate
 | 
						|
for the call. BIO_read_ex() is guaranteed to give the caller the number of bytes
 | 
						|
it asks for, unless there's an error or end of communication is reached in the
 | 
						|
next BIO. The internal buffer can grow to cache the entire contents of the next
 | 
						|
BIO in the chain. BIO_seek() uses the internal buffer, so that it can only seek
 | 
						|
into data that is already read.
 | 
						|
