<h1><a name="name">NAME</a></h1>
<p>SMIME_read_CMS - parse S/MIME message</p>
<p>
</p>
<hr />
<h1><a name="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</a></h1>
<pre>
#include &lt;openssl/cms.h&gt;</pre>
<pre>
CMS_ContentInfo *SMIME_read_CMS(BIO *in, BIO **bcont);</pre>
<p>

<h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
<p><code>SMIME_read_CMS()</code> parses a message in S/MIME format.</p>
<p><strong>in</strong> 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 <strong>*bcont</strong>, otherwise <strong>*bcont</strong> is set to NULL.</p>
<p>The parsed CMS_ContentInfo structure is returned or NULL if an
error occurred.</p>
<p>
</p>
<hr />
<h1><a name="notes">NOTES</a></h1>
<p>If <strong>*bcont</strong> is not NULL then the message is clear text signed. <strong>*bcont</strong> can
then be passed to <code>CMS_verify()</code> with the <strong>CMS_DETACHED</strong> 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 <strong>bcont</strong> is not NULL <strong>*bcont</strong> should be
initialized to NULL. For example:</p>
<pre>
BIO *cont = NULL;
CMS_ContentInfo *cms;</pre>
<pre>
cms = SMIME_read_CMS(in, &amp;cont);</pre>
<p>
</p>
<hr />
<h1><a name="bugs">BUGS</a></h1>
<p>The MIME parser used by <code>SMIME_read_CMS()</code> 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>
<p>
</p>
<hr />
<h1><a name="return_values">RETURN VALUES</a></h1>
<p><code>SMIME_read_CMS()</code> returns a valid <strong>CMS_ContentInfo</strong> structure or <strong>NULL</strong>
if an error occurred. The error can be obtained from <code>ERR_get_error(3)</code>.</p>
