| 4 | ||
| 5 | CMS_compress - create a CMS CompressedData structure | |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | =head1 SYNOPSIS | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | #include <openssl/cms.h> | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | CMS_ContentInfo *CMS_compress(BIO *in, int comp_nid, unsigned int flags); | |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | =head1 DESCRIPTION | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | CMS_compress() creates and returns a CMS CompressedData structure. B<comp_nid> | |
| 16 | is the compression algorithm to use or B<NID_undef> to use the default | |
| 38d3a738 | 17 | algorithm (zlib compression). B<in> is the content to be compressed. |
| 360bb61d DSH |
18 | B<flags> is an optional set of flags. |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | =head1 NOTES | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | The only currently supported compression algorithm is zlib using the NID | |
| 23 | NID_zlib_compression. | |
| 24 | ||
| 38d3a738 | 25 | If zlib support is not compiled into OpenSSL then CMS_compress() will return |
| 360bb61d DSH |
26 | an error. |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | If the B<CMS_TEXT> flag is set MIME headers for type B<text/plain> are | |
| 29 | prepended to the data. | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | Normally the supplied content is translated into MIME canonical format (as | |
| 32 | required by the S/MIME specifications) if B<CMS_BINARY> is set no translation | |
| 33 | occurs. This option should be used if the supplied data is in binary format | |
| 34 | otherwise the translation will corrupt it. If B<CMS_BINARY> is set then | |
| 35 | B<CMS_TEXT> is ignored. | |
| 36 | ||
| 37 | If the B<CMS_STREAM> flag is set a partial B<CMS_ContentInfo> structure is | |
| 38 | returned suitable for streaming I/O: no data is read from the BIO B<in>. | |
| 39 | ||
| 40 | The compressed data is included in the CMS_ContentInfo structure, unless | |
| 41 | B<CMS_DETACHED> is set in which case it is omitted. This is rarely used in | |
| 42 | practice and is not supported by SMIME_write_CMS(). | |
| 43 | ||
| 44 | =head1 NOTES | |
| 45 | ||
| 46 | If the flag B<CMS_STREAM> is set the returned B<CMS_ContentInfo> structure is | |
| 47 | B<not> complete and outputting its contents via a function that does not | |
| 48 | properly finalize the B<CMS_ContentInfo> structure will give unpredictable | |
| 49 | results. | |
| 50 | ||
| 51 | Several functions including SMIME_write_CMS(), i2d_CMS_bio_stream(), | |
| 52 | PEM_write_bio_CMS_stream() finalize the structure. Alternatively finalization | |
| 53 | can be performed by obtaining the streaming ASN1 B<BIO> directly using | |
| 54 | BIO_new_CMS(). | |

56 | Additional compression parameters such as the zlib compression level cannot |
| 57 | currently be set. | |
| 58 | ||
| 360bb61d DSH |
59 | =head1 RETURN VALUES |
| 60 | ||
| 61 | CMS_compress() returns either a CMS_ContentInfo structure or NULL if an error | |
| 62 | occurred. The error can be obtained from ERR_get_error(3). | |
