<h1 id="NAME">NAME</h1>
<p>SMIME_read_CMS_ex, SMIME_read_CMS - parse S/MIME message</p>
<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>
<pre><code> #include &lt;openssl/cms.h&gt;
CMS_ContentInfo *SMIME_read_CMS_ex(BIO *bio, int flags, BIO **bcont,
CMS_ContentInfo **cms);
CMS_ContentInfo *SMIME_read_CMS(BIO *in, BIO **bcont);</code></pre>
<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>
<p>SMIME_read_CMS() parses a message in S/MIME format.</p>
<p><b>in</b> is a BIO to read the message from.</p>
<p>If cleartext signing is used then the content is saved in a memory bio which is written to <b>*bcont</b>, otherwise <b>*bcont</b> is set to NULL.</p>
<p>The parsed CMS_ContentInfo structure is returned or NULL if an error occurred.</p>
<p>SMIME_read_CMS_ex() is similar to SMIME_read_CMS() but optionally a previously created <i>cms</i> CMS_ContentInfo object can be supplied as well as some <i>flags</i>. To create a <i>cms</i> object use <a href="../man3/CMS_ContentInfo_new_ex.html">CMS_ContentInfo_new_ex(3)</a>. If the <i>flags</i> argument contains <b>CMS_BINARY</b> then the input is assumed to be in binary format and is not translated to canonical form. If in addition <b>SMIME_ASCIICRLF</b> is set then the binary input is assumed to be followed by <b>CR</b> and <b>LF</b> characters, else only by an <b>LF</b> character. If <i>flags</i> is 0 and <i>cms</i> is NULL then it is identical to SMIME_read_CMS().</p>
<h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1>
<p>If <b>*bcont</b> is not NULL then the message is clear text signed. <b>*bcont</b> can then be passed to CMS_verify() with the <b>CMS_DETACHED</b> flag set.</p>
<p>Otherwise the type of the returned structure can be determined using CMS_get0_type().</p>
<p>To support future functionality if <b>bcont</b> is not NULL <b>*bcont</b> should be initialized to NULL. For example:</p>
<pre><code> BIO *cont = NULL;
CMS_ContentInfo *cms;
cms = SMIME_read_CMS(in, &amp;cont);</code></pre>
<h1 id="BUGS">BUGS</h1>
<p>The MIME parser used by SMIME_read_CMS() is somewhat primitive. While it will handle most S/MIME messages more complex compound formats may not work.</p>
<p>The parser assumes that the CMS_ContentInfo structure is always base64 encoded and will not handle the case where it is in binary format or uses quoted printable format.</p>
<p>The use of a memory BIO to hold the signed content limits the size of message which can be processed due to memory restraints: a streaming single pass option should be available.</p>
<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>
<p>SMIME_read_CMS_ex() and SMIME_read_CMS() return a valid <b>CMS_ContentInfo</b> structure or <b>NULL</b> if an error occurred. The error can be obtained from ERR_get_error(3).</p>
