+=head1 NAME
+
+ SMIME_write_CMS - convert CMS structure to S/MIME format.
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/cms.h>
+
+ int SMIME_write_CMS(BIO *out, CMS_ContentInfo *cms, BIO *data, int flags);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+SMIME_write_CMS() adds the appropriate MIME headers to a CMS
+structure to produce an S/MIME message.
+
+B<out> is the BIO to write the data to. B<cms> is the appropriate
+B<CMS_ContentInfo> 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<CMS_DETACHED> is set then cleartext signing will be used, this option only
+makes sense for SignedData where B<CMS_DETACHED> is also set when CMS_sign() is
+called.
+
+If the B<CMS_TEXT> flag is set MIME headers for type B<text/plain> are added to
+the content, this only makes sense if B<CMS_DETACHED> is also set.
+
+If the B<CMS_STREAM> flag is set streaming is performed. This flag should only
+be set if B<CMS_STREAM> was also set in the previous call to a CMS_ContentInfo
+creation function.
+
+If cleartext signing is being used and B<CMS_STREAM> not set then the data must
+be read twice: once to compute the signature in CMS_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_CMS() always base64 encodes CMS structures, there should be an
+option to disable this.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+SMIME_write_CMS() returns 1 for success or 0 for failure.
