 BIO_new_mem_buf() creates a memory BIO using B<len> bytes of data at B<buf>,

+if B<len> is -1 then the B<buf> is assumed to be nul terminated and its

 as a result cannot be written to. This is useful when some data needs to be
 made available from a static area of memory in the form of a BIO. The
