52.Dt CMS_UNCOMPRESS 3
53.Os
54.Sh NAME
55.Nm CMS_uncompress
56.Nd uncompress a CMS CompressedData structure
57.Sh SYNOPSIS
58.In openssl/cms.h
59.Ft int
60.Fo CMS_uncompress
61.Fa "CMS_ContentInfo *cms"
62.Fa "BIO *dcont"
63.Fa "BIO *out"
64.Fa "unsigned int flags"
65.Fc
66.Sh DESCRIPTION
67.Fn CMS_uncompress
68extracts and uncompresses the content of a CMS
69.Vt CompressedData
70structure
71.Fa cms
72and writes it to
73.Fa out .
74.Pp
75In the rare case where the compressed content is detached,
76pass it in via
77.Fa dcont .
78For normal use, set
79.Fa dcont
80to
81.Dv NULL .
82.Pp
83The only currently supported compression algorithm is zlib: if the
84structure indicates the use of any other algorithm, an error is returned.
85If zlib support is not compiled in,
86.Fn CMS_uncompress
87always returns an error.
88.Pp
89If the
90.Dv CMS_TEXT
91bit is set in
92.Fa flags ,
93MIME headers for type text/plain are deleted from the content.
94If the content is not of type text/plain, an error is returned.
95.Sh RETURN VALUES
96.Fn CMS_uncompress
97returns 1 for success or 0 for failure.
98The error can be obtained from
99.Xr ERR_get_error 3 .
100.Sh SEE ALSO
101.Xr CMS_compress 3 ,
102.Xr CMS_ContentInfo_new 3
103.Sh STANDARDS
104RFC 3274: Compressed Data Content Type for Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS)
105.Sh HISTORY
106.Fn CMS_uncompress
107first appeared in OpenSSL 0.9.8h
108and has been available since
109.Ox 6.7 .
110.Sh BUGS
111The lack of single pass processing and the need to hold all data in
112memory as mentioned in
113.Xr CMS_verify 3
114also applies to
115.Fn CMS_uncompress .
