+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+BIO_ctrl(), BIO_callback_ctrl(), BIO_ptr_ctrl() and BIO_int_ctrl()
+are BIO "control" operations taking arguments of various types.
+These functions are not normally called directly, various macros
+are used instead. The standard macros are described below, macros
+specific to a particular type of BIO are described in the specific
+BIOs manual page as well as any special features of the standard
+calls.
+
+BIO_reset() typically resets a BIO to some initial state, in the case
+of file related BIOs for example it rewinds the file pointer to the
+start of the file.
+
+BIO_seek() resets a file related BIO's (that is file descriptor and
+FILE BIOs) file position pointer to B<ofs> bytes from start of file.
+
+BIO_tell() returns the current file position of a file related BIO.
+
+BIO_flush() normally writes out any internally buffered data, in some
+cases it is used to signal EOF and that no more data will be written.
+
+BIO_eof() returns 1 if the BIO has read EOF, the precise meaning of
+"EOF" varies according to the BIO type.
+
+BIO_set_close() sets the BIO B<b> close flag to B<flag>. B<flag> can
+take the value BIO_CLOSE or BIO_NOCLOSE. Typically BIO_CLOSE is used
+in a source/sink BIO to indicate that the underlying I/O stream should
+be closed when the BIO is freed.
+
+BIO_get_close() returns the BIOs close flag.
+
+BIO_pending(), BIO_ctrl_pending(), BIO_wpending() and BIO_ctrl_wpending()
+return the number of pending characters in the BIOs read and write buffers.
+Not all BIOs support these calls. BIO_ctrl_pending() and BIO_ctrl_wpending()
+return a size_t type and are functions, BIO_pending() and BIO_wpending() are
+macros which call BIO_ctrl().
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+BIO_reset() normally returns 1 for success and 0 or -1 for failure. File
+BIOs are an exception, they return 0 for success and -1 for failure.
+
+BIO_seek() and BIO_tell() both return the current file position on success
+and -1 for failure, except file BIOs which for BIO_seek() always return 0
+for success and -1 for failure.
+
+BIO_flush() returns 1 for success and 0 or -1 for failure.
+
+BIO_eof() returns 1 if EOF has been reached 0 otherwise.
+
+BIO_set_close() always returns 1.
+
+BIO_get_close() returns the close flag value: BIO_CLOSE or BIO_NOCLOSE.
+
+BIO_pending(), BIO_ctrl_pending(), BIO_wpending() and BIO_ctrl_wpending()
+return the amount of pending data.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+BIO_flush(), because it can write data may return 0 or -1 indicating
+that the call should be retried later in a similar manner to BIO_write(). 
+The BIO_should_retry() call should be used and appropriate action taken
+is the call fails.
+
+The return values of BIO_pending() and BIO_wpending() may not reliably
+determine the amount of pending data in all cases. For example in the
+case of a file BIO some data may be available in the FILE structures
+internal buffers but it is not possible to determine this in a
+portably way. For other types of BIO they may not be supported.
+
+Filter BIOs if they do not internally handle a particular BIO_ctrl()
+operation usually pass the operation to the next BIO in the chain.
+This often means there is no need to locate the required BIO for
+a particular operation, it can be called on a chain and it will
+be automatically passed to the relevant BIO. However this can cause
+unexpected results: for example no current filter BIOs implement
+BIO_seek(), but this may still succeed if the chain ends in a FILE
+or file descriptor BIO.
+
+Source/sink BIOs return an 0 if they do not recognize the BIO_ctrl()
+operation.
+
+=head1 BUGS
+
+Some of the return values are ambiguous and care should be taken. In
+particular a return value of 0 can be returned if an operation is not
+supported, if an error occurred, if EOF has not been reached and in
+the case of BIO_seek() on a file BIO for a successful operation.
