NAME

       OPENSSL_Applink - glue between OpenSSL BIO and Win32 compiler run-time

LIBRARY

       libcrypto, -lcrypto

SYNOPSIS

	__declspec(dllexport) void **OPENSSL_Applink();

DESCRIPTION

       OPENSSL_Applink is application-side interface which provides a glue between OpenSSL BIO layer and Win32 compiler run-time environment.
       Even though it appears at application side, it's essentially OpenSSL private interface. For this reason application developers are not
       expected to implement it, but to compile provided module with compiler of their choice and link it into the target application.	The
       referred module is available as <openssl>/ms/applink.c.

NAME

       bio - I/O abstraction

SYNOPSIS

	#include <openssl/bio.h>

       TBA

DESCRIPTION

       A BIO is an I/O abstraction, it hides many of the underlying I/O details from an application. If an application uses a BIO for its I/O it
       can transparently handle SSL connections, unencrypted network connections and file I/O.

       There are two type of BIO, a source/sink BIO and a filter BIO.

       As its name implies a source/sink BIO is a source and/or sink of data, examples include a socket BIO and a file BIO.

       A filter BIO takes data from one BIO and passes it through to another, or the application. The data may be left unmodified (for example a
       message digest BIO) or translated (for example an encryption BIO). The effect of a filter BIO may change according to the I/O operation it
       is performing: for example an encryption BIO will encrypt data if it is being written to and decrypt data if it is being read from.

       BIOs can be joined together to form a chain (a single BIO is a chain with one component). A chain normally consist of one source/sink BIO
       and one or more filter BIOs. Data read from or written to the first BIO then traverses the chain to the end (normally a source/sink BIO).
