  64. SMIME_write_PKCS7 \- convert PKCS#7 structure to S/MIME format
  65. .SH SYNOPSIS

  67. .Vb 1
  68. \& #include <openssl/pkcs7.h>
  69. \&
  70. \& int SMIME_write_PKCS7(BIO *out, PKCS7 *p7, BIO *data, int flags);

  72. .SH DESCRIPTION
  73. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  74. \&\fBSMIME_write_PKCS7()\fR adds the appropriate MIME headers to a PKCS#7
  75. structure to produce an S/MIME message.
  76. .PP
  77. \&\fBout\fR is the BIO to write the data to. \fBp7\fR is the appropriate \fBPKCS7\fR
  78. structure. If streaming is enabled then the content must be supplied in the
  79. \&\fBdata\fR argument. \fBflags\fR is an optional set of flags.
  80. .SH NOTES
  81. .IX Header "NOTES"
  82. The following flags can be passed in the \fBflags\fR parameter.
  83. .PP
  84. If \fBPKCS7_DETACHED\fR is set then cleartext signing will be used,
  85. this option only makes sense for signedData where \fBPKCS7_DETACHED\fR
  86. is also set when \fBPKCS7_sign()\fR is also called.
  87. .PP
  88. If the \fBPKCS7_TEXT\fR flag is set MIME headers for type \fBtext/plain\fR
  89. are added to the content, this only makes sense if \fBPKCS7_DETACHED\fR
  90. is also set.
  91. .PP
  92. If the \fBPKCS7_STREAM\fR flag is set streaming is performed. This flag should
  93. only be set if \fBPKCS7_STREAM\fR was also set in the previous call to
  94. \&\fBPKCS7_sign()\fR or \fBPKCS7_encrypt()\fR.
  95. .PP
  96. If cleartext signing is being used and \fBPKCS7_STREAM\fR not set then
  97. the data must be read twice: once to compute the signature in \fBPKCS7_sign()\fR
  98. and once to output the S/MIME message.
  99. .PP
  100. If streaming is performed the content is output in BER format using indefinite
  101. length constructed encoding except in the case of signed data with detached
  102. content where the content is absent and DER format is used.
  103. .SH BUGS
  104. .IX Header "BUGS"
  105. \&\fBSMIME_write_PKCS7()\fR always base64 encodes PKCS#7 structures, there
  106. should be an option to disable this.
  107. .SH "RETURN VALUES"
  108. .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
  109. \&\fBSMIME_write_PKCS7()\fR returns 1 for success or 0 for failure.
