.... 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'.

Title "PKCS7_ENCRYPT 3"
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
Only \s-1RSA\s0 keys are supported in PKCS#7 and envelopedData so the recipient certificates supplied to this function must all contain \s-1RSA\s0 public keys, though they do not have to be signed using the \s-1RSA\s0 algorithm.
\fBEVP_des_ede3_cbc() (triple \s-1DES\s0) is the algorithm of choice for S/MIME use because most clients will support it.
Some old \*(L"export grade\*(R" clients may only support weak encryption using 40 or 64 bit \s-1RC2.\s0 These can be used by passing EVP_rc2_40_cbc() and EVP_rc2_64_cbc() respectively.
The algorithm passed in the cipher parameter must support \s-1ASN1\s0 encoding of its parameters.
Many browsers implement a \*(L"sign and encrypt\*(R" option which is simply an S/MIME envelopedData containing an S/MIME signed message. This can be readily produced by storing the S/MIME signed message in a memory \s-1BIO\s0 and passing it to \fBPKCS7_encrypt().
The following flags can be passed in the flags parameter.
If the \s-1PKCS7_TEXT\s0 flag is set \s-1MIME\s0 headers for type text/plain are prepended to the data.
Normally the supplied content is translated into \s-1MIME\s0 canonical format (as required by the S/MIME specifications) if \s-1PKCS7_BINARY\s0 is set no translation occurs. This option should be used if the supplied data is in binary format otherwise the translation will corrupt it. If \s-1PKCS7_BINARY\s0 is set then \fB\s-1PKCS7_TEXT\s0 is ignored.
If the \s-1PKCS7_STREAM\s0 flag is set a partial \s-1PKCS7\s0 structure is output suitable for streaming I/O: no data is read from the \s-1BIO\s0 in.
If the flag \s-1PKCS7_STREAM\s0 is set the returned \s-1PKCS7\s0 structure is not complete and outputting its contents via a function that does not properly finalize the \s-1PKCS7\s0 structure will give unpredictable results.
Several functions including SMIME_write_PKCS7(), i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream(), \fBPEM_write_bio_PKCS7_stream() finalize the structure. Alternatively finalization can be performed by obtaining the streaming \s-1ASN1\s0 \s-1BIO\s0 directly using \fBBIO_new_PKCS7().
\fBPKCS7_encrypt() is similar to PKCS7_encrypt_ex() but uses default values of \s-1NULL\s0 for the library context libctx and the property query propq.
The \s-1PKCS7_STREAM\s0 flag was added in OpenSSL 1.0.0.
