.IX Title "SMIME_write_PKCS7 3"
.TH SMIME_write_PKCS7 3 "2007-03-15" "0.9.8e" "OpenSSL"
.SH "NAME"
SMIME_write_PKCS7 \- convert PKCS#7 structure to S/MIME format.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
int SMIME_write_PKCS7(\s-1BIO\s0 *out, \s-1PKCS7\s0 *p7, \s-1BIO\s0 *data, int flags);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fISMIME_write_PKCS7()\fR adds the appropriate \s-1MIME\s0 headers to a PKCS#7
structure to produce an S/MIME message.
.PP
\&\fBout\fR is the \s-1BIO\s0 to write the data to. \fBp7\fR is the appropriate
\&\fB\s-1PKCS7\s0\fR structure. If cleartext signing (\fBmultipart/signed\fR) is
being used then the signed data must be supplied in the \fBdata\fR 
argument. \fBflags\fR is an optional set of flags.
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
The following flags can be passed in the \fBflags\fR parameter.
.PP
If \fB\s-1PKCS7_DETACHED\s0\fR is set then cleartext signing will be used,
this option only makes sense for signedData where \fB\s-1PKCS7_DETACHED\s0\fR
is also set when \fIPKCS7_sign()\fR is also called.
.PP
If the \fB\s-1PKCS7_TEXT\s0\fR flag is set \s-1MIME\s0 headers for type \fBtext/plain\fR
are added to the content, this only makes sense if \fB\s-1PKCS7_DETACHED\s0\fR
is also set.
.PP
If the \fB\s-1PKCS7_PARTSIGN\s0\fR flag is set the signed data is finalized
and output along with the content. This flag should only be set
if \fB\s-1PKCS7_DETACHED\s0\fR is also set and the previous call to \fIPKCS7_sign()\fR
also set these flags.
.PP
If cleartext signing is being used and \fB\s-1PKCS7_PARTSIGN\s0\fR not set then
the data must be read twice: once to compute the signature in \fIPKCS7_sign()\fR
and once to output the S/MIME message.
.SH "BUGS"
.IX Header "BUGS"
\&\fISMIME_write_PKCS7()\fR always base64 encodes PKCS#7 structures, there
should be an option to disable this.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fISMIME_write_PKCS7()\fR returns 1 for success or 0 for failure.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.IX Header "SEE ALSO"
