No there isn't much, which is a pity because BIOs are very useful things
and many people don't use them due to the lack of information.
I'll see if I can add some BIO docs sometime. I can never remember how
some things work myself (like BIO_push() argument order) and I always
have to look in the source at a few cases where the library uses them.
It'll probably turn up a few bugs too. When I last looked at how the
accept BIOs worked it seemed rather broken.
BTW a word of warning about the use of memory BIOs. Their size can rise
indefinitely until memory allocations fail. Something else that needs
documenting...
