+=head1 NAME
+
+i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream - output PKCS7 structure in BER format.
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/pkcs7.h>
+
+ int i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream(BIO *out, PKCS7 *p7, BIO *data, int flags);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() outputs a PKCS7 structure in BER format.
+
+It is otherwise identical to the function SMIME_write_PKCS7().
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+This function is effectively a version of the d2i_PKCS7_bio() supporting
+streaming.
+
+=head1 BUGS
+
+The prefix "d2i" is arguably wrong because the function outputs BER format.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() returns 1 for success or 0 for failure.
