BIO_f_null (3openssl)

Name

BIO_f_null - null filter

Synopsis

#include <openssl/bio.h>

BIO_METHOD *   BIO_f_null(void);

Description

BIO_f_null(3openssl)                OpenSSL               BIO_f_null(3openssl)



NAME
       BIO_f_null - null filter

SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/bio.h>

        BIO_METHOD *   BIO_f_null(void);

DESCRIPTION
       BIO_f_null() returns the null filter BIO method. This is a filter BIO
       that does nothing.

       All requests to a null filter BIO are passed through to the next BIO in
       the chain: this means that a BIO chain containing a null filter BIO
       behaves just as though the BIO was not there.

NOTES
