53.Os
54.Sh NAME
55.Nm SMIME_read_CMS
56.Nd parse S/MIME message
57.Sh SYNOPSIS
58.In openssl/cms.h
59.Ft CMS_ContentInfo *
60.Fo SMIME_read_CMS
61.Fa "BIO *in"
62.Fa "BIO **bcont"
63.Fc
64.Sh DESCRIPTION
65.Fn SMIME_read_CMS
66parses a message in S/MIME format.
67.Pp
68.Fa in
69is a
70.Vt BIO
71to read the message from.
72.Pp
73If cleartext signing is used, then the content is saved in a memory BIO
74which is written to
75.Pf * Fa bcont ;
76otherwise
77.Pf * Fa bcont
78is set to
79.Dv NULL .
80.Pp
81The parsed
82.Vt CMS_ContentInfo
83structure is returned, or
84.Dv NULL
85if an error occurred.
86.Pp
87If
88.Pf * Fa bcont
89is not
90.Dv NULL ,
91then the message is clear text signed.
92.Pf * Fa bcont
93can then be passed to
94.Xr CMS_verify 3
95with the
96.Dv CMS_DETACHED
97flag set.
98.Pp
99Otherwise the type of the returned structure can be determined using
100.Xr CMS_get0_type 3 .
101.Pp
102To support future functionality if
103.Fa bcont
104is not
105.Dv NULL ,
106.Pf * Fa bcont
107should be initialized to
108.Dv NULL .
109For example:
110.Bd -literal -offset indent
111BIO *cont = NULL;
112CMS_ContentInfo *cms;
113
114cms = SMIME_read_CMS(in, &cont);
115.Ed
116.Sh RETURN VALUES
117.Fn SMIME_read_CMS
118returns a valid
119.Vt CMS_ContentInfo
120structure or
121.Dv NULL
122if an error occurred.
123The error can be obtained from
124.Xr ERR_get_error 3 .
125.Sh SEE ALSO
126.Xr CMS_decrypt 3 ,
127.Xr CMS_encrypt 3 ,
128.Xr CMS_sign 3 ,
129.Xr CMS_type 3 ,
130.Xr CMS_verify 3 ,
131.Xr SMIME_write_CMS 3
132.Sh BUGS
133The MIME parser used by
134.Fn SMIME_read_CMS
135is somewhat primitive.
136While it will handle most S/MIME messages, more complex compound formats
137may not work.
138.Pp
139The parser assumes that the
140.Vt CMS_ContentInfo
141structure is always base64 encoded and will not handle the case
142where it is in binary format or uses quoted printable format.
143.Pp
144The use of a memory BIO to hold the signed content limits the size of
145message which can be processed due to memory restraints: a streaming
146single pass option should be available.
