The output +of the filter is written to B. Any data written to the chain is +automatically translated to a BER format CMS structure of the appropriate type. + +=head1 NOTES + +The chain returned by this function behaves like a standard filter BIO. It +supports non blocking I/O. Content is processed and streamed on the fly and not +all held in memory at once: so it is possible to encode very large structures. +After all content has been written through the chain BIO_flush() must be called +to finalise the structure. + +The B flag must be included in the corresponding B +parameter of the B creation function. + +If an application wishes to write additional data to B BIOs should be +removed from the chain using BIO_pop() and freed with BIO_free() until B +is reached. If no additional data needs to be written BIO_free_all() can be +called to free up the whole chain. + +Any content written through the filter is used verbatim: no canonical +translation is performed. + +It is possible to chain multiple BIOs to, for example, create a triple wrapped +signed, enveloped, signed structure. In this case it is the applications +responsibility to set the inner content type of any outer CMS_ContentInfo +structures. + +Large numbers of small writes through the chain should be avoided as this will +produce an output consisting of lots of OCTET STRING structures. Prepending +a BIO_f_buffer() buffering BIO will prevent this. + +=head1 BUGS + +There is currently no corresponding inverse BIO: i.e. one which can decode +a CMS structure on the fly. + +=head1 RETURN VALUES + +BIO_new_CMS() returns a BIO chain when successful or NULL if an error +occurred. The error can be obtained from ERR_get_error(3). + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L, L, +L + +=head1 HISTORY + +BIO_new_CMS() was added to OpenSSL 1.0.0 + +=head1 COPYRIGHT + +Copyright 2008-2016 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
