<p>SMIME_read_PKCS7 - parse S/MIME message</p>

<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>

<pre><code> #include &lt;openssl/pkcs7.h&gt;

 PKCS7 *SMIME_read_PKCS7(BIO *in, BIO **bcont);</code></pre>

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>SMIME_read_PKCS7() parses a message in S/MIME format.</p>

<p><b>in</b> is a BIO to read the message from.</p>

<p>If cleartext signing is used then the content is saved in a memory bio which is written to <b>*bcont</b>, otherwise <b>*bcont</b> is set to <b>NULL</b>.</p>

<p>The parsed PKCS#7 structure is returned or <b>NULL</b> if an error occurred.</p>

<h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1>

<p>If <b>*bcont</b> is not <b>NULL</b> then the message is clear text signed. <b>*bcont</b> can then be passed to PKCS7_verify() with the <b>PKCS7_DETACHED</b> flag set.</p>

<p>Otherwise the type of the returned structure can be determined using PKCS7_type_is_enveloped(), etc.</p>

<p>To support future functionality if <b>bcont</b> is not <b>NULL</b> <b>*bcont</b> should be initialized to <b>NULL</b>. For example:</p>

<pre><code> BIO *cont = NULL;
 PKCS7 *p7;

 p7 = SMIME_read_PKCS7(in, &amp;cont);</code></pre>

<h1 id="BUGS">BUGS</h1>

<p>The MIME parser used by SMIME_read_PKCS7() is somewhat primitive. While it will handle most S/MIME messages more complex compound formats may not work.</p>

<p>The parser assumes that the PKCS7 structure is always base64 encoded and will not handle the case where it is in binary format or uses quoted printable format.</p>

<p>The use of a memory BIO to hold the signed content limits the size of message which can be processed due to memory restraints: a streaming single pass option should be available.</p>

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

<p>SMIME_read_PKCS7() returns a valid <b>PKCS7</b> structure or <b>NULL</b> if an error occurred. The error can be obtained from ERR_get_error(3).</p>
