=head1 NAME

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

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/cms.h>

 const ASN1_OBJECT *CMS_get0_type(const 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);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

CMS_get0_type() returns the content type of a CMS_ContentInfo structure as

an 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 (such as L<CMS_sign>, L<CMS_encrypt>)

with the B<CMS_PARTIAL>

flag and B<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 B<ASN1_OCTET_STRING> pointer

containing the embedded content.

=head1 NOTES

As the B<0> implies CMS_get0_type(), CMS_get0_eContentType() and

CMS_get0_content() return internal pointers which should B<not> be freed up.

CMS_set1_eContentType() copies the supplied OID and it B<should> be freed up

after use.

The B<ASN1_OBJECT> values returned can be converted to an integer B<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 B<ASN1_OCTET_STRING>

content pointer. That means that for example:

 ASN1_OCTET_STRING **pconf = CMS_get0_content(cms);

B<*pconf> could be NULL if there is no embedded content. Applications can

access, modify or create the embedded content in a B<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.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

CMS_get0_type() and CMS_get0_eContentType() return an 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).
