<p>BIO_new_CMS - CMS streaming filter BIO</p>
<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>
<pre><code> #include <openssl/cms.h>
BIO *BIO_new_CMS(BIO *out, CMS_ContentInfo *cms);</code></pre>
<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>
<p>BIO_new_CMS() returns a streaming filter BIO chain based on <b>cms</b>. The output of the filter is written to <b>out</b>. Any data written to the chain is automatically translated to a BER format CMS structure of the appropriate type.</p>
<h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1>
<p>The chain returned by this function behaves like a standard filter BIO. It supports non blocking I/O. Content is processed and streamed on the fly and not all held in memory at once: so it is possible to encode very large structures. After all content has been written through the chain BIO_flush() must be called to finalise the structure.</p>
<p>The <b>CMS_STREAM</b> flag must be included in the corresponding <b>flags</b> parameter of the <b>cms</b> creation function.</p>
<p>If an application wishes to write additional data to <b>out</b> BIOs should be removed from the chain using BIO_pop() and freed with BIO_free() until <b>out</b> is reached. If no additional data needs to be written BIO_free_all() can be called to free up the whole chain.</p>
<p>Any content written through the filter is used verbatim: no canonical translation is performed.</p>
<p>It is possible to chain multiple BIOs to, for example, create a triple wrapped signed, enveloped, signed structure. In this case it is the applications responsibility to set the inner content type of any outer CMS_ContentInfo structures.</p>
<p>Large numbers of small writes through the chain should be avoided as this will produce an output consisting of lots of OCTET STRING structures. Prepending a BIO_f_buffer() buffering BIO will prevent this.</p>
<h1 id="BUGS">BUGS</h1>
<p>There is currently no corresponding inverse BIO: i.e. one which can decode a CMS structure on the fly.</p>
<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>
<p>BIO_new_CMS() returns a BIO chain when successful or NULL if an error occurred. The error can be obtained from ERR_get_error(3).</p>

<p>The BIO_new_CMS() function was added in OpenSSL 1.0.0.</p>
