+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn BIO_new
+function returns a new BIO using method
+.Fa type .
+.Pp
+.Fn BIO_set
+sets the method of an already existing BIO.
+.Pp
+.Fn BIO_free
+frees up a single BIO,
+.Fn BIO_vfree
+also frees up a single BIO, but it does not return a value.
+Calling
+.Fn BIO_free
+may also have some effect on the underlying I/O structure,
+for example it may close the file being
+referred to under certain circumstances.
+For more details see the individual
+.Vt BIO_METHOD
+descriptions.
+.Pp
+.Fn BIO_free_all
+frees up an entire BIO chain.
+It does not halt if an error occurs
+freeing up an individual BIO in the chain.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+.Fn BIO_new
+returns a newly created BIO or
+.Dv NULL
+if the call fails.
+.Pp
+.Fn BIO_set
+and
+.Fn BIO_free
+return 1 for success and 0 for failure.
+.Pp
+.Fn BIO_free_all
+and
+.Fn BIO_vfree
+do not return values.
+.Sh NOTES
+Some BIOs (such as memory BIOs) can be used immediately after calling
+.Fn BIO_new .
+Others (such as file BIOs) need some additional initialization, and
+frequently a utility function exists to create and initialize such BIOs.
+.Pp
+If
+.Fn BIO_free
+is called on a BIO chain, it will only free one BIO,
+resulting in a memory leak.
+.Pp
+Calling
+.Fn BIO_free_all
+on a single BIO has the same effect as calling
+.Fn BIO_free
+on it other than the discarded return value.
+.Pp
+Normally the
+.Fa type
+argument is supplied by a function which returns a pointer to a
+.Vt BIO_METHOD .
+There is a naming convention for such functions:
+a source/sink BIO is normally called
+.Fn BIO_s_*
+and a filter BIO
+.Fn BIO_f_* .
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+Create a memory BIO:
+.Pp
+.Dl BIO *mem = BIO_new(BIO_s_mem());
