CMS_uncompress(3)





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 Com-
       pressedData 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 con-
       tent is detached. It will normally be set to NULL.


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.


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().
