This option should be used if the supplied data is in binary format. Otherwise, the translation will corrupt it. If .Dv CMS_BINARY is set then .Dv CMS_TEXT is ignored. .Pp If the .Dv CMS_STREAM flag is set, a partial .Vt CMS_ContentInfo structure is returned suitable for streaming I/O: no data is read from the BIO .Fa in . .Pp The compressed data is included in the .Vt CMS_ContentInfo structure unless .Dv CMS_DETACHED is set, in which case it is omitted. This is rarely used in practice and is not supported by .Xr SMIME_write_CMS 3 . .Pp If the flag .Dv CMS_STREAM is set, the returned .Vt CMS_ContentInfo structure is .Em not complete and outputting its contents via a function that does not properly finalize the .Vt CMS_ContentInfo structure will give unpredictable results. .Pp Several functions including .Xr SMIME_write_CMS 3 , .Xr i2d_CMS_bio_stream 3 , and .Xr PEM_write_bio_CMS_stream 3 finalize the structure. Alternatively finalization can be performed by obtaining the streaming ASN1 .Vt BIO directly using .Xr BIO_new_CMS 3 . .Pp Additional compression parameters such as the zlib compression level cannot currently be set. .Sh RETURN VALUES .Fn CMS_compress returns either a .Vt CMS_ContentInfo structure or .Dv NULL if an error occurred. The error can be obtained from .Xr ERR_get_error 3 . .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr CMS_uncompress 3 .Sh HISTORY .Fn CMS_compress first appeared in OpenSSL 0.9.8h and has been available since .Ox 6.6 . .Pp The .Dv CMS_STREAM flag first appeared in OpenSSL 1.0.0.
