CMS_uncompress (3openssl)

Name

CMS_uncompress - uncompress a CMS CompressedData structure

Synopsis

#include <openssl/cms.h>

int CMS_uncompress(CMS_ContentInfo *cms, BIO *dcont, BIO *out, unsigned int flags);

Description

CMS_uncompress(3openssl)            OpenSSL           CMS_uncompress(3openssl)



NAME
        CMS_uncompress - uncompress a CMS CompressedData structure

SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/cms.h>

        int CMS_uncompress(CMS_ContentInfo *cms, BIO *dcont, BIO *out, unsigned int flags);

DESCRIPTION
       CMS_uncompress() extracts and uncompresses the content from a CMS
       CompressedData structure cms. data is a BIO to write the content to and
       flags is an optional set of flags.

       The dcont parameter is used in the rare case where the compressed
       content is detached. It will normally be set to NULL.


ATTRIBUTES
       See attributes(7) for descriptions of the following attributes:


       +---------------+--------------------------+
       |ATTRIBUTE TYPE |     ATTRIBUTE VALUE      |
       +---------------+--------------------------+
       |Availability   | library/security/openssl |
       +---------------+--------------------------+
       |Stability      | Pass-through uncommitted |
       +---------------+--------------------------+

NOTES
       The only currently supported compression algorithm is zlib: if the
       structure indicates the use of any other algorithm an error is
       returned.

       If zlib support is not compiled into OpenSSL then CMS_uncompress() will
       always return an error.

       The following flags can be passed in the flags parameter.

       If the CMS_TEXT flag is set MIME headers for type text/plain are
       deleted from the content. If the content is not of type text/plain then
       an error is returned.

       This software was built from source available at
       https://github.com/oracle/solaris-userland.  The original community
       source was downloaded from
       https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.2ze.tar.gz.

       Further information about this software can be found on the open source
       community website at https://www.openssl.org/.

RETURN VALUES
       CMS_uncompress() returns either 1 for success or 0 for failure. The
       error can be obtained from ERR_get_error(3)

BUGS
       The lack of single pass processing and the need to hold all data in
       memory as mentioned in CMS_verify() also applies to CMS_decompress().
