The BIO_ADDR type is a wrapper around all types of socket addresses that OpenSSL deals with, currently
transparently supporting AF_INET, AF_INET6 and AF_UNIX according to what's available on the platform at
hand.
BIO_ADDR_new() creates a new unfilled BIO_ADDR, to be used with routines that will fill it with
information, such as BIO_accept_ex().
BIO_ADDR_copy() copies the contents of src into dst. Neither src or dst can be NULL.
BIO_ADDR_dup() creates a new BIO_ADDR, with a copy of the address data in ap.
BIO_ADDR_free() frees a BIO_ADDR created with BIO_ADDR_new() or BIO_ADDR_dup(). If the argument is NULL,
nothing is done.
BIO_ADDR_clear() clears any data held within the provided BIO_ADDR and sets it back to an uninitialised
state.
BIO_ADDR_rawmake() takes a protocol family, a byte array of size wherelen with an address in network byte
order pointed at by where and a port number in network byte order in port (except for the AF_UNIX
protocol family, where port is meaningless and therefore ignored) and populates the given BIO_ADDR with
them. In case this creates a AF_UNIXBIO_ADDR, wherelen is expected to be the length of the path string
(not including the terminating NUL, such as the result of a call to strlen()). Read on about the
addresses in "RAW ADDRESSES" below.
BIO_ADDR_family() returns the protocol family of the given BIO_ADDR. The possible non-error results are
one of the constants AF_INET, AF_INET6 and AF_UNIX. It will also return AF_UNSPEC if the BIO_ADDR has not
been initialised.
BIO_ADDR_rawaddress() will write the raw address of the given BIO_ADDR in the area pointed at by p if p
is non-NULL, and will set *l to be the amount of bytes the raw address takes up if l is non-NULL. A
technique to only find out the size of the address is a call with p set to NULL. The raw address will be
in network byte order, most significant byte first. In case this is a AF_UNIXBIO_ADDR, l gets the
length of the path string (not including the terminating NUL, such as the result of a call to strlen()).

BIO_ADDR_rawport() returns the raw port of the given BIO_ADDR. The raw port will be in network byte
order.
BIO_ADDR_hostname_string() returns a character string with the hostname of the given BIO_ADDR. If
numeric is 1, the string will contain the numerical form of the address. This only works for BIO_ADDR of
the protocol families AF_INET and AF_INET6. The returned string has been allocated on the heap and must
be freed with OPENSSL_free().
BIO_ADDR_service_string() returns a character string with the service name of the port of the given
BIO_ADDR. If numeric is 1, the string will contain the port number. This only works for BIO_ADDR of the
protocol families AF_INET and AF_INET6. The returned string has been allocated on the heap and must be
freed with OPENSSL_free().
BIO_ADDR_path_string() returns a character string with the path of the given BIO_ADDR. This only works
for BIO_ADDR of the protocol family AF_UNIX. The returned string has been allocated on the heap and must
be freed with OPENSSL_free().
