=head1 NAME

BIO_socket, BIO_bind, BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_accept_ex, BIO_closesocket - BIO
socket communication setup routines

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/bio.h>

 int BIO_socket(int domain, int socktype, int protocol, int options);
 int BIO_bind(int sock, const BIO_ADDR *addr, int options);
 int BIO_connect(int sock, const BIO_ADDR *addr, int options);
 int BIO_listen(int sock, const BIO_ADDR *addr, int options);
 int BIO_accept_ex(int accept_sock, BIO_ADDR *peer, int options);
 int BIO_closesocket(int sock);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

BIO_socket() creates a socket in the domain B<domain>, of type
B<socktype> and B<protocol>.  Socket B<options> are currently unused,
but is present for future use.

BIO_bind() binds the source address and service to a socket and
may be useful before calling BIO_connect().  The options may include
B<BIO_SOCK_REUSEADDR>, which is described in L</FLAGS> below.

BIO_connect() connects B<sock> to the address and service given by
B<addr>.  Connection B<options> may be zero or any combination of
B<BIO_SOCK_KEEPALIVE>, B<BIO_SOCK_NONBLOCK> and B<BIO_SOCK_NODELAY>.
The flags are described in L</FLAGS> below.

BIO_listen() has B<sock> start listening on the address and service
given by B<addr>.  Connection B<options> may be zero or any
combination of B<BIO_SOCK_KEEPALIVE>, B<BIO_SOCK_NONBLOCK>,
B<BIO_SOCK_NODELAY>, B<BIO_SOCK_REUSEADDR> and B<BIO_SOCK_V6_ONLY>.
The flags are described in L</FLAGS> below.

BIO_accept_ex() waits for an incoming connections on the given
socket B<accept_sock>.  When it gets a connection, the address and
port of the peer gets stored in B<peer> if that one is non-NULL.
Accept B<options> may be zero or B<BIO_SOCK_NONBLOCK>, and is applied
on the accepted socket.  The flags are described in L</FLAGS> below.

BIO_closesocket() closes B<sock>.

=head1 FLAGS

=over 4

=item BIO_SOCK_KEEPALIVE

Enables regular sending of keep-alive messages.

=item BIO_SOCK_NONBLOCK

Sets the socket to nonblocking mode.

=item BIO_SOCK_NODELAY

Corresponds to B<TCP_NODELAY>, and disables the Nagle algorithm.  With
this set, any data will be sent as soon as possible instead of being
buffered until there's enough for the socket to send out in one go.

=item BIO_SOCK_REUSEADDR

Try to reuse the address and port combination for a recently closed
port.

=item BIO_SOCK_V6_ONLY

When creating an IPv6 socket, make it only listen for IPv6 addresses
and not IPv4 addresses mapped to IPv6.

=back

These flags are bit flags, so they are to be combined with the
C<|> operator, for example:

 BIO_connect(sock, addr, BIO_SOCK_KEEPALIVE | BIO_SOCK_NONBLOCK);

=head1 RETURN VALUES

BIO_socket() returns the socket number on success or B<INVALID_SOCKET>
(-1) on error.  When an error has occurred, the OpenSSL error stack
will hold the error data and errno has the system error.

BIO_bind(), BIO_connect() and BIO_listen() return 1 on success or 0 on error.
When an error has occurred, the OpenSSL error stack will hold the error
data and errno has the system error.

BIO_accept_ex() returns the accepted socket on success or
B<INVALID_SOCKET> (-1) on error.  When an error has occurred, the
OpenSSL error stack will hold the error data and errno has the system
error.

=head1 HISTORY

BIO_gethostname(), BIO_get_port(), BIO_get_host_ip(),
BIO_get_accept_socket() and BIO_accept() were deprecated in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
Use the functions described above instead.
