-=head1 NAME
-
-PKCS7_sign - create a PKCS#7 signedData structure
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
-PKCS7 *PKCS7_sign(X509 *signcert, EVP_PKEY *pkey, STACK_OF(X509) *certs, BIO *data, int flags);
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-PKCS7_sign() creates and returns a PKCS#7 signedData structure. B<signcert>
-is the certificate to sign with, B<pkey> is the corresponsding private key.
-B<certs> is an optional additional set of certificates to include in the
-PKCS#7 structure (for example any intermediate CAs in the chain). 
-
-The data to be signed is read from BIO B<data>.
-
-B<flags> is an optional set of flags.
-
-=head1 NOTES
-
-Any of the following flags (ored together) can be passed in the B<flags> parameter.
-
-Many S/MIME clients expect the signed content to include valid MIME headers. If
-the B<PKCS7_TEXT> flag is set MIME headers for type B<text/plain> are prepended
-to the data.
-
-If B<PKCS7_NOCERTS> is set the signer's certificate will not be included in the
-PKCS7 structure, the signer's certificate must still be supplied in the B<signcert>
-parameter though. This can reduce the size of the signature if the signers certificate
-can be obtained by other means: for example a previously signed message.
-
-The data being signed is included in the PKCS7 structure, unless B<PKCS7_DETACHED> 
-is set in which case it is omitted. This is used for PKCS7 detached signatures
-which are used in S/MIME plaintext signed messages for example.
-
-Normally the supplied content is translated into MIME canonical format (as required
-by the S/MIME specifications) if B<PKCS7_BINARY> is set no translation occurs. This
-option should be used if the supplied data is in binary format otherwise the translation
-will corrupt it.
-
-The signedData structure includes several PKCS#7 autenticatedAttributes including
-the signing time, the PKCS#7 content type and the supported list of ciphers in
-an SMIMECapabilities attribute. If B<PKCS7_NOATTR> is set then no authenticatedAttributes
-will be used. If B<PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP> is set then just the SMIMECapabilities are
-omitted.
-
-If present the SMIMECapabilities attribute indicates support for the following
-algorithms: triple DES, 128 bit RC2, 64 bit RC2, DES and 40 bit RC2. If any
-of these algorithms is disabled then it will not be included.
-
-=head1 BUGS
-
-PKCS7_sign() is somewhat limited. It does not support multiple signers, some
-advanced attributes such as counter signatures are not supported.
-
-The SHA1 digest algorithm is currently always used.
-
-When the signed data is not detached it will be stored in memory within the
-B<PKCS7> structure. This effectively limits the size of messages which can be
-signed due to memory restraints. There should be a way to sign data without
-having to hold it all in memory, this would however require fairly major
-revisions of the OpenSSL ASN1 code.
-
-Clear text signing does not store the content in memory but the way PKCS7_sign()
-operates means that two passes of the data must typically be made: one to compute
-the signatures and a second to output the data along with the signature. There
-should be a way to process the data with only a single pass.
-
-=head1 RETURN VALUES
-
-PKCS7_sign() returns either a valid PKCS7 structure or NULL if an error occurred.
-The error can be obtained from ERR_get_error(3).
