B<p7> is the appropriate B<PKCS7> +structure. If streaming is enabled then the content must be supplied in the +B<data> argument. B<flags> is an optional set of flags. + +=head1 NOTES + +The following flags can be passed in the B<flags> parameter. + +If B<PKCS7_DETACHED> is set then cleartext signing will be used, +this option only makes sense for signedData where B<PKCS7_DETACHED> +is also set when PKCS7_sign() is also called. + +If the B<PKCS7_TEXT> flag is set MIME headers for type B<text/plain> +are added to the content, this only makes sense if B<PKCS7_DETACHED> +is also set. + +If the B<PKCS7_STREAM> flag is set streaming is performed. This flag should +only be set if B<PKCS7_STREAM> was also set in the previous call to +PKCS7_sign() or PKCS7_encrypt(). + +If cleartext signing is being used and B<PKCS7_STREAM> not set then +the data must be read twice: once to compute the signature in PKCS7_sign() +and once to output the S/MIME message. + +If streaming is performed the content is output in BER format using indefinite +length constructed encoding except in the case of signed data with detached +content where the content is absent and DER format is used. + +=head1 BUGS + +SMIME_write_PKCS7() always base64 encodes PKCS#7 structures, there +should be an option to disable this. + +=head1 RETURN VALUES + +SMIME_write_PKCS7() returns 1 for success or 0 for failure. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L<ERR_get_error(3)>, L<PKCS7_sign(3)>, +L<PKCS7_verify(3)>, L<PKCS7_encrypt(3)> +L<PKCS7_decrypt(3)> + +=head1 COPYRIGHT + +Copyright 2002-2016 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
