53.Os
54.Sh NAME
55.Nm SMIME_write_CMS
56.Nd convert CMS structure to S/MIME format
57.Sh SYNOPSIS
58.In openssl/cms.h
59.Ft int
60.Fo SMIME_write_CMS
61.Fa "BIO *out"
62.Fa "CMS_ContentInfo *cms"
63.Fa "BIO *data"
64.Fa "int flags"
65.Fc
66.Sh DESCRIPTION
67.Fn SMIME_write_CMS
68adds the appropriate MIME headers to the
69.Fa cms
70structure to produce an S/MIME message and writes it to
71.Fa out .
72If streaming is enabled, the content must be supplied in the
73.Fa data
74argument.
75.Pp
76The following
77.Fa flags
78can be passed:
79.Bl -tag -width Ds
80.It Dv CMS_DETACHED
81Use cleartext signing.
82This option only makes sense if
83.Fa cms
84is of the type
85.Vt SignedData
86and
87.Dv CMS_DETACHED
88was also set when it was created with
89.Xr CMS_sign 3 .
90.Pp
91If
92.Dv CMS_STREAM
93is not set, the data must be read twice:
94once to compute the signature in
95.Xr CMS_sign 3
96and once to output the S/MIME message.
97.It Dv CMS_TEXT
98Add MIME headers for type text/plain to the content.
99This only makes sense if
100.Dv CMS_DETACHED
101is also set.
102.It Dv CMS_STREAM
103Perform streaming.
104This flag should only be set if
105.Dv CMS_STREAM
106was also passed to the function that created
107.Fa cms .
108.Pp
109The content is output in BER format using indefinite length
110constructed encoding except in the case of
111.Vt SignedData
112with detached content where the content is absent and DER format is
113used.
114.El
115.Sh RETURN VALUES
116.Fn SMIME_write_CMS
117returns 1 for success or 0 for failure.

124.Sh HISTORY
125.Fn SMIME_write_CMS
126first appeared in OpenSSL 0.9.8h
127and has been available since
128.Ox 6.7 .
129.Sh BUGS
130.Fn SMIME_write_CMS
131always base64 encodes CMS structures.
132There should be an option to disable this.
