-=head1 NAME
-
-PKCS7_decrypt - decrypt content from a PKCS#7 envelopedData structure
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- #include <openssl/pkcs7.h>
-
- int PKCS7_decrypt(PKCS7 *p7, EVP_PKEY *pkey, X509 *cert, BIO *data, int flags);
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-PKCS7_decrypt() extracts and decrypts the content from a PKCS#7 envelopedData
-structure. B<pkey> is the private key of the recipient, B<cert> is the
-recipients certificate, B<data> is a BIO to write the content to and
-B<flags> is an optional set of flags.
-
-=head1 NOTES
-
-OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() (or equivalent) should be called before using this
-function or errors about unknown algorithms will occur.
-
-Although the recipients certificate is not needed to decrypt the data it is needed
-to locate the appropriate (of possible several) recipients in the PKCS#7 structure.
-
-The following flags can be passed in the B<flags> parameter.
-
-If the B<PKCS7_TEXT> flag is set MIME headers for type B<text/plain> are deleted
-from the content. If the content is not of type B<text/plain> then an error is
-returned.
-
-=head1 RETURN VALUES
-
-PKCS7_decrypt() returns either 1 for success or 0 for failure.
-The error can be obtained from ERR_get_error(3)
-
-=head1 BUGS
-
-PKCS7_decrypt() must be passed the correct recipient key and certificate. It would
-be better if it could look up the correct key and certificate from a database.
-
-The lack of single pass processing and need to hold all data in memory as
-mentioned in PKCS7_sign() also applies to PKCS7_verify().
