  153. \&\fBSMIME_read_PKCS7()\fR parses a message in S/MIME format.
  154. .PP
  155. \&\fBin\fR is a \s-1BIO\s0 to read the message from.
  156. .PP
  157. If cleartext signing is used then the content is saved in
  158. a memory bio which is written to \fB*bcont\fR, otherwise
  159. \&\fB*bcont\fR is set to \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR.
  160. .PP
  161. The parsed PKCS#7 structure is returned or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR if an
  162. error occurred.
  163. .PP
  164. \&\fBSMIME_read_PKCS7_ex()\fR is similar to \fBSMIME_read_PKCS7()\fR but can optionally supply
  165. a previously created \fIp7\fR PKCS#7 object. If \fIp7\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 then it is identical
  166. to \fBSMIME_read_PKCS7()\fR.
  167. To create a \fIp7\fR object use \fBPKCS7_new_ex\fR\|(3).
  168. .SH "NOTES"
  169. .IX Header "NOTES"
  170. If \fB*bcont\fR is not \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR then the message is clear text
  171. signed. \fB*bcont\fR can then be passed to \fBPKCS7_verify()\fR with
  172. the \fB\s-1PKCS7_DETACHED\s0\fR flag set.
  173. .PP
  174. Otherwise the type of the returned structure can be determined
  175. using \fBPKCS7_type_is_enveloped()\fR, etc.
  176. .PP
  177. To support future functionality if \fBbcont\fR is not \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR
  178. \&\fB*bcont\fR should be initialized to \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR. For example:
  179. .PP
  180. .Vb 2
  181. \& BIO *cont = NULL;
  182. \& PKCS7 *p7;
  183. \&
  184. \& p7 = SMIME_read_PKCS7(in, &cont);
  185. .Ve
  186. .SH "BUGS"
  187. .IX Header "BUGS"
  188. The \s-1MIME\s0 parser used by \fBSMIME_read_PKCS7()\fR is somewhat primitive.
  189. While it will handle most S/MIME messages more complex compound
  190. formats may not work.
  191. .PP
  192. The parser assumes that the \s-1PKCS7\s0 structure is always base64
  193. encoded and will not handle the case where it is in binary format
  194. or uses quoted printable format.
  195. .PP
  196. The use of a memory \s-1BIO\s0 to hold the signed content limits the size
  197. of message which can be processed due to memory restraints: a
  198. streaming single pass option should be available.
  199. .SH "RETURN VALUES"
  200. .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
  201. \&\fBSMIME_read_PKCS7_ex()\fR and \fBSMIME_read_PKCS7()\fR return a valid \fB\s-1PKCS7\s0\fR structure
  202. or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR if an error occurred. The error can be obtained from \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
  203. .SH "SEE ALSO"
