143 SMIME_read_PKCS7 \- parse S/MIME message.
147 .IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
149 \& #include <openssl/pkcs7.h>
151 \& PKCS7 *SMIME_read_PKCS7(BIO *in, BIO **bcont);
154 .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
155 \&\fISMIME_read_PKCS7()\fR parses a message in S/MIME format.
157 \&\fBin\fR is a \s-1BIO\s0 to read the message from.
159 If cleartext signing is used then the content is saved in
160 a memory bio which is written to \fB*bcont\fR, otherwise
161 \&\fB*bcont\fR is set to \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR.
163 The parsed PKCS#7 structure is returned or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR if an
167 If \fB*bcont\fR is not \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR then the message is clear text
168 signed. \fB*bcont\fR can then be passed to \fIPKCS7_verify()\fR with
169 the \fB\s-1PKCS7_DETACHED\s0\fR flag set.
171 Otherwise the type of the returned structure can be determined
172 using \fIPKCS7_type()\fR.
174 To support future functionality if \fBbcont\fR is not \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR
175 \&\fB*bcont\fR should be initialized to \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR. For example:
181 \& p7 = SMIME_read_PKCS7(in, &cont);
185 The \s-1MIME\s0 parser used by \fISMIME_read_PKCS7()\fR is somewhat primitive.
186 While it will handle most S/MIME messages more complex compound
187 formats may not work.
189 The parser assumes that the \s-1PKCS7\s0 structure is always base64
190 encoded and will not handle the case where it is in binary format
191 or uses quoted printable format.
193 The use of a memory \s-1BIO\s0 to hold the signed content limits the size
194 of message which can be processed due to memory restraints: a
195 streaming single pass option should be available.
197 .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
198 \&\fISMIME_read_PKCS7()\fR returns a valid \fB\s-1PKCS7\s0\fR structure or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR
199 is an error occurred. The error can be obtained from \fIERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
