Others (such as file BIOs) need some additional initialization, -and frequently a utility function exists to create and initialize such BIOs. - If BIO_free() is called on a BIO chain it will only free one BIO resulting in a memory leak. -Calling BIO_free_all() a single BIO has the same effect as calling BIO_free() +Calling BIO_free_all() on a single BIO has the same effect as calling BIO_free() on it other than the discarded return value. -Normally the B<type> argument is supplied by a function which returns a -pointer to a BIO_METHOD.
