.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

way too many mistakes in technical documents.
"NAME"
BIO_new_CMS - CMS streaming filter BIO
"SYNOPSIS"
Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/cms.h> \& BIO *BIO_new_CMS(BIO *out, CMS_ContentInfo *cms); .Ve
"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" \fBBIO_new_CMS() returns a streaming filter \s-1BIO\s0 chain based on cms. The output of the filter is written to out. Any data written to the chain is automatically translated to a \s-1BER\s0 format \s-1CMS\s0 structure of the appropriate type.
"NOTES"
Header "NOTES" The chain returned by this function behaves like a standard filter \s-1BIO.\s0 It supports non blocking I/O. Content is processed and streamed on the fly and not all held in memory at once: so it is possible to encode very large structures. After all content has been written through the chain BIO_flush() must be called to finalise the structure.

The \s-1CMS_STREAM\s0 flag must be included in the corresponding flags parameter of the cms creation function.

If an application wishes to write additional data to out BIOs should be removed from the chain using BIO_pop() and freed with BIO_free() until out is reached. If no additional data needs to be written BIO_free_all() can be called to free up the whole chain.

Any content written through the filter is used verbatim: no canonical translation is performed.

It is possible to chain multiple BIOs to, for example, create a triple wrapped signed, enveloped, signed structure. In this case it is the applications responsibility to set the inner content type of any outer CMS_ContentInfo structures.

Large numbers of small writes through the chain should be avoided as this will produce an output consisting of lots of \s-1OCTET STRING\s0 structures. Prepending a BIO_f_buffer() buffering \s-1BIO\s0 will prevent this.

"BUGS"
Header "BUGS" There is currently no corresponding inverse \s-1BIO:\s0 i.e. one which can decode a \s-1CMS\s0 structure on the fly.
"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBBIO_new_CMS() returns a \s-1BIO\s0 chain when successful or \s-1NULL\s0 if an error occurred. The error can be obtained from ERR_get_error\|(3).
"SEE ALSO"
Header "SEE ALSO" \fBERR_get_error\|(3), CMS_sign\|(3), \fBCMS_encrypt\|(3)
"HISTORY"
Header "HISTORY" The BIO_new_CMS() function was added in OpenSSL 1.0.0.
