+=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 EXAMPLE
+
+Traverse a chain looking for digest BIOs:
+
+ BIO *btmp;
+ btmp = in_bio; /* in_bio is chain to search through */
+
+ for(;;) {
+ 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);
+ }
