  154. \&\fBSMIME_read_CMS()\fR parses a message in S/MIME format.
  155. .PP
  156. \&\fBin\fR is a \s-1BIO\s0 to read the message from.
  157. .PP
  158. If cleartext signing is used then the content is saved in a memory bio which is
  159. written to \fB*bcont\fR, otherwise \fB*bcont\fR is set to \s-1NULL.\s0
  160. .PP
  161. The parsed CMS_ContentInfo structure is returned or \s-1NULL\s0 if an
  162. error occurred.
  163. .PP
  164. \&\fBSMIME_read_CMS_ex()\fR is similar to \fBSMIME_read_CMS()\fR but optionally a previously
  165. created \fIcms\fR CMS_ContentInfo object can be supplied as well as some \fIflags\fR.
  166. To create a \fIcms\fR object use \fBCMS_ContentInfo_new_ex\fR\|(3).
  167. If the \fIflags\fR argument contains \fB\s-1CMS_BINARY\s0\fR then the input is assumed to be
  168. in binary format and is not translated to canonical form.
  169. If in addition \fB\s-1SMIME_ASCIICRLF\s0\fR is set then the binary input is assumed
  170. to be followed by \fB\s-1CR\s0\fR and \fB\s-1LF\s0\fR characters, else only by an \fB\s-1LF\s0\fR character.
  171. If \fIflags\fR is 0 and \fIcms\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 then it is identical to \fBSMIME_read_CMS()\fR.
  172. .SH "NOTES"
  173. .IX Header "NOTES"
  174. If \fB*bcont\fR is not \s-1NULL\s0 then the message is clear text signed. \fB*bcont\fR can
  175. then be passed to \fBCMS_verify()\fR with the \fB\s-1CMS_DETACHED\s0\fR flag set.
  176. .PP
  177. Otherwise the type of the returned structure can be determined
  178. using \fBCMS_get0_type()\fR.
  179. .PP
  180. To support future functionality if \fBbcont\fR is not \s-1NULL\s0 \fB*bcont\fR should be
  181. initialized to \s-1NULL.\s0 For example:
  182. .PP
  183. .Vb 2
  184. \& BIO *cont = NULL;
  185. \& CMS_ContentInfo *cms;
  186. \&
  187. \& cms = SMIME_read_CMS(in, &cont);
  188. .Ve
  189. .SH "BUGS"
  190. .IX Header "BUGS"
  191. The \s-1MIME\s0 parser used by \fBSMIME_read_CMS()\fR is somewhat primitive. While it will
  192. handle most S/MIME messages more complex compound formats may not work.
  193. .PP
  194. The parser assumes that the CMS_ContentInfo structure is always base64 encoded
  195. and will not handle the case where it is in binary format or uses quoted
  196. printable format.
  197. .PP
  198. The use of a memory \s-1BIO\s0 to hold the signed content limits the size of message
  199. which can be processed due to memory restraints: a streaming single pass option
  200. should be available.
  201. .SH "RETURN VALUES"
  202. .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
  203. \&\fBSMIME_read_CMS_ex()\fR and \fBSMIME_read_CMS()\fR return a valid \fBCMS_ContentInfo\fR
  204. structure or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR if an error occurred. The error can be obtained from
  205. \&\fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
  206. .SH "SEE ALSO"
