CMS_get0_type(3)             OpenSSL             CMS_get0_type(3)

NAME

      CMS_get0_type, CMS_set1_eContentType, CMS_get0_eContentType, CMS_get0_content - get and set CMS content types and content

SYNOPSIS

      #include <openssl/cms.h>

      const ASN1_OBJECT *CMS_get0_type(CMS_ContentInfo *cms);
      int CMS_set1_eContentType(CMS_ContentInfo *cms, const ASN1_OBJECT *oid);
      const ASN1_OBJECT *CMS_get0_eContentType(CMS_ContentInfo *cms);
      ASN1_OCTET_STRING **CMS_get0_content(CMS_ContentInfo *cms);

DESCRIPTION

     CMS_get0_type() returns the content type of a
     CMS_ContentInfo structure as and ASN1_OBJECT pointer. An
     application can then decide how to process the
     CMS_ContentInfo structure based on this value.

     CMS_set1_eContentType() sets the embedded content type of a
     CMS_ContentInfo structure. It should be called with CMS
     functions with the CMS_PARTIAL flag and before the structure
     is finalised, otherwise the results are undefined.

     ASN1_OBJECT *CMS_get0_eContentType() returns a pointer to
     the embedded content type.

     CMS_get0_content() returns a pointer to the
     ASN1_OCTET_STRING pointer containing the embedded content.

NOTES

     As the 0 implies CMS_get0_type(), CMS_get0_eContentType()
     and CMS_get0_content() return internal pointers which should
     not be freed up.  CMS_set1_eContentType() copies the
     supplied OID and it should be freed up after use.

     The ASN1_OBJECT values returned can be converted to an
     integer NID value using OBJ_obj2nid(). For the currently
     supported content types the following values are returned:

      NID_pkcs7_data
      NID_pkcs7_signed
      NID_pkcs7_digest
      NID_id_smime_ct_compressedData:
      NID_pkcs7_encrypted
      NID_pkcs7_enveloped

     The return value of CMS_get0_content() is a pointer to the
     ASN1_OCTET_STRING content pointer. That means that for
     example:

      ASN1_OCTET_STRING **pconf = CMS_get0_content(cms);

CMS_get0_type(3)             OpenSSL             CMS_get0_type(3)

     *pconf could be NULL if there is no embedded content.
     Applications can access, modify or create the embedded
     content in a CMS_ContentInfo structure using this function.
     Applications usually will not need to modify the embedded
     content as it is normally set by higher level functions.

RETURN VALUES

     CMS_get0_type() and CMS_get0_eContentType() return and
     ASN1_OBJECT structure.

     CMS_set1_eContentType() returns 1 for success or 0 if an
     error occurred.  The error can be obtained from
     ERR_get_error(3).
