24=head1 DESCRIPTION
25
26CMS_EncryptedData_encrypt_ex() creates a B<CMS_ContentInfo> structure
27with a type B<NID_pkcs7_encrypted>. I<in> is a BIO containing the data to
28encrypt using I<cipher> and the encryption key I<key> of size I<keylen> bytes.
29The library context I<libctx> and the property query I<propq> are used when
30retrieving algorithms from providers. I<flags> is a set of optional flags.
31
32The I<flags> field supports the options B<CMS_DETACHED>, B<CMS_STREAM> and
33B<CMS_PARTIAL>. Internally CMS_final() is called unless B<CMS_STREAM> and/or
34B<CMS_PARTIAL> is specified.
35
36The algorithm passed in the I<cipher> parameter must support ASN1 encoding of
37its parameters.
38
39The B<CMS_ContentInfo> structure can be freed using L<CMS_ContentInfo_free(3)>.
40
41CMS_EncryptedData_encrypt() is similar to CMS_EncryptedData_encrypt_ex()
42but uses default values of NULL for the library context I<libctx> and the
43property query I<propq>.
44
45=head1 RETURN VALUES
46
47If the allocation fails, CMS_EncryptedData_encrypt_ex() and
48CMS_EncryptedData_encrypt() return NULL and set an error code that can be
49obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>. Otherwise they return a pointer to the newly
50allocated structure.
