=head1 DESCRIPTION
The BIO_find_type() searches for a BIO of a given type in a chain, starting
at BIO B<b>. If B<type> is a specific type (such as BIO_TYPE_MEM) then a search
is made for a BIO of that type. If B<type> is a general type (such as
B<BIO_TYPE_SOURCE_SINK>) then the next matching BIO of the given general type is
searched for. BIO_find_type() returns the next matching BIO or NULL if none is
found.
Note: not all the B<BIO_TYPE_*> types above have corresponding BIO implementations.
BIO_next() returns the next BIO in a chain. It can be used to traverse all BIOs
in a chain or used in conjunction with BIO_find_type() to find all BIOs of a
certain type.
BIO_method_type() returns the type of a BIO.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
BIO_find_type() returns a matching BIO or NULL for no match.
BIO_next() returns the next BIO in a chain.
BIO_method_type() returns the type of the BIO B<b>.
=head1 NOTES
BIO_next() was added to OpenSSL 0.9.6 to provide a 'clean' way to traverse a BIO
chain or find multiple matches using BIO_find_type(). Previous versions had to
use:
next = bio->next_bio;
=head1 BUGS
BIO_find_type() in OpenSSL 0.9.5a and earlier could not be safely passed a
NULL pointer for the B<b> argument.
=head1 EXAMPLE
Traverse a chain looking for digest BIOs:
BIO *btmp;
btmp = in_bio; /* in_bio is chain to search through */
do {
btmp = BIO_find_type(btmp, BIO_TYPE_MD);
if(btmp == NULL) break; /* Not found */
/* btmp is a digest BIO, do something with it ...*/
...
btmp = BIO_next(btmp);
} while(btmp);
