I found that in openssl-1.1.1, before calling the fgets function to read stdin, setbuf(stdin, NULL) will be called

I wrote a simple demo to simulate this situation:

    $ cat main_pipe.cpp
    #include <string.h>
    #include <fcntl.h>
    #include <unistd.h>
    #include <iostream>
    #include <fstream>
    #include <sstream>
    #include <stdio.h>

    using namespace std;

    int main() {
        int herepipe[2];

        if (pipe(herepipe) < 0) {
            cout << "pipe file failed" << endl;
        }

        string read_line = "first line\nsecond line\nthird line\n";

        write(herepipe[1], read_line.c_str(), read_line.length());

        close(herepipe[1]);

        dup2(herepipe[0], 0);

        char read_str[256] = { 0 };

        while (fgets(read_str, 255, stdin))
        {
            setbuf(stdin, NULL); // clear buffer
            printf("%s", read_str);
        }

        close(herepipe[0]);
    }

The execution result of the program is:

    $ first line

I also wrote a simple demo to simulate the use of temp files in bash-5.0:

    $ cat testfile
    first line
    second line
    third line

    $ cat main_tmp_file.cpp
    #include <string.h>
    #include <fcntl.h>
    #include <unistd.h>
    #include <iostream>
    #include <fstream>
    #include <sstream>
    #include <stdio.h>

    using namespace std;

    int main() {
        int fd = -1;

        if ((fd = open("testfile", O_RDWR)) == -1) {
            cout << "open file failed" << endl;
        }

        dup2(fd, 0);

        char read_str[256] = { 0 };

        while (fgets(read_str, 255, stdin))
        {
            setbuf(stdin, NULL);
            printf("%s", read_str);
        }

        close(fd);
    }

The execution result of the program is:

    $ first line
    $ second line
    $ third line

I don't understand why openssl calls setbuf(stdin, NULL). and I don't know whether this usage is reasonable, I'm also looking to the openssl community for answers

This sounds like openssl makes some assumptions about its stdin, like whether or not it's seekable. A system call trace would tell you where it's failing.

Hello,

When I execute the openssl command to generate the rsa secret key in bash-5.1, it’s failed. But the same command can be successfully executed in bash-5.0.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH= openssl rsa -aes256 -passout stdin <<< "4567263139692f79613d254c51363046723a307e5c6124263f5935356e436a56

and error msg is:

I find that in bash-5.1, function here_document_to_fd try to use a pipe internal instead of a temp file, this is the cause of failure.

#if defined(HEREDOC_PIPESIZE)
    /* Try to use a pipe internal to this process if the document is shorter
       than the system's pipe capacity (computed at build time). We want to
       write the entire document without write blocking. */
if (document_len <= HEREDOC_PIPESIZE)

I try to add goto use_tempfile before #if defined(HEREDOC_PIPESIZE), to ignore pip internal, it will be successful.

btw, when I execute the openssl command to generate the ecc secret key, It is both successful in bash-5.1 and bash-5.0.

I guess whether it is because the length of the string is limited in the pipe, and the command ulimit -a execution results are as follows:
