NAME

       PEM_read_bio_ex, PEM_FLAG_SECURE, PEM_FLAG_EAY_COMPATIBLE, PEM_FLAG_ONLY_B64 - read PEM
       format files with custom processing

SYNOPSIS

        #include <openssl/pem.h>

        #define PEM_FLAG_SECURE             0x1
        #define PEM_FLAG_EAY_COMPATIBLE     0x2
        #define PEM_FLAG_ONLY_B64           0x4
        int PEM_read_bio_ex(BIO *in, char **name, char **header,
                            unsigned char **data, long *len, unsigned int flags);

DESCRIPTION

       PEM_read_bio_ex() reads in PEM formatted data from an input BIO, outputting the name of
       the type of contained data, the header information regarding the possibly encrypted data,
       and the binary data payload (after base64 decoding).  It should generally only be used to
       implement PEM_read_bio_-family functions for specific data types or other usage, but is
       exposed to allow greater flexibility over how processing is performed, if needed.

       If PEM_FLAG_SECURE is set, the intermediate buffers used to read in lines of input are
       allocated from the secure heap.

       If PEM_FLAG_EAY_COMPATIBLE is set, a simple algorithm is used to remove whitespace and
       control characters from the end of each line, so as to be compatible with the historical
       behavior of PEM_read_bio().

       If PEM_FLAG_ONLY_B64 is set, all characters are required to be valid base64 characters (or
       newlines); non-base64 characters are treated as end of input.

       If neither PEM_FLAG_EAY_COMPATIBLE or PEM_FLAG_ONLY_B64 is set, control characters are
       ignored.

       If both PEM_FLAG_EAY_COMPATIBLE and PEM_FLAG_ONLY_B64 are set, an error is returned; these
       options are not compatible with each other.

NOTES

       The caller must release the storage allocated for *name, *header, and *data.  If
       PEM_FLAG_SECURE was set, use OPENSSL_secure_free(); otherwise, OPENSSL_free() is used.

RETURN VALUES

       PEM_read_bio_ex() returns 1 for success or 0 for failure.
