+.SH NAME
+BIO_new_CMS \- CMS streaming filter BIO
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
+.Vb 1
+\& #include <openssl/cms.h>
+\&
+\& BIO *BIO_new_CMS(BIO *out, CMS_ContentInfo *cms);
+.Ve
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+\&\fBBIO_new_CMS()\fR returns a streaming filter BIO chain based on \fBcms\fR. The output
+of the filter is written to \fBout\fR. Any data written to the chain is
+automatically translated to a BER format CMS structure of the appropriate type.
+.SH NOTES
+.IX Header "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 \fBBIO_flush()\fR must be called
+to finalise the structure.
+.PP
+The \fBCMS_STREAM\fR flag must be included in the corresponding \fBflags\fR
+parameter of the \fBcms\fR creation function.
+.PP
+If an application wishes to write additional data to \fBout\fR BIOs should be
+removed from the chain using \fBBIO_pop()\fR and freed with \fBBIO_free()\fR until \fBout\fR
+is reached. If no additional data needs to be written \fBBIO_free_all()\fR can be
+called to free up the whole chain.
+.PP
+Any content written through the filter is used verbatim: no canonical
+translation is performed.
+.PP
+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.
+.PP
+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 \fBBIO_f_buffer()\fR buffering BIO will prevent this.
+.SH BUGS
+.IX Header "BUGS"
+There is currently no corresponding inverse BIO: i.e. one which can decode
+a CMS structure on the fly.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
+\&\fBBIO_new_CMS()\fR returns a BIO chain when successful or NULL if an error
+occurred. The error can be obtained from \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).

+.SH HISTORY

+The \fBBIO_new_CMS()\fR function was added in OpenSSL 1.0.0.
