\& const ASN1_OBJECT *CMS_get0_type(CMS_ContentInfo *cms);
\& int CMS_set1_eContentType(CMS_ContentInfo *cms, const ASN1_OBJECT *oid);

.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBCMS_get0_type()\fR returns the content type of a CMS_ContentInfo structure as
and ASN1_OBJECT pointer. An application can then decide how to process the
CMS_ContentInfo structure based on this value.
.PP
\&\fBCMS_set1_eContentType()\fR sets the embedded content type of a CMS_ContentInfo
structure. It should be called with CMS functions with the \fBCMS_PARTIAL\fR
flag and \fBbefore\fR the structure is finalised, otherwise the results are
undefined.
.PP
ASN1_OBJECT *\fBCMS_get0_eContentType()\fR returns a pointer to the embedded
content type.
.PP
\&\fBCMS_get0_content()\fR returns a pointer to the \fBASN1_OCTET_STRING\fR pointer
containing the embedded content.
.SH NOTES
.IX Header "NOTES"
As the \fB0\fR implies \fBCMS_get0_type()\fR, \fBCMS_get0_eContentType()\fR and
\&\fBCMS_get0_content()\fR return internal pointers which should \fBnot\fR be freed up.
\&\fBCMS_set1_eContentType()\fR copies the supplied OID and it \fBshould\fR be freed up
after use.
.PP
The \fBASN1_OBJECT\fR values returned can be converted to an integer \fBNID\fR value
using \fBOBJ_obj2nid()\fR. For the currently supported content types the following
values are returned:
.PP
.Vb 6
\& NID_pkcs7_data
\& NID_pkcs7_signed
\& NID_pkcs7_digest
\& NID_id_smime_ct_compressedData:
\& NID_pkcs7_encrypted
\& NID_pkcs7_enveloped
.Ve
.PP
The return value of \fBCMS_get0_content()\fR is a pointer to the \fBASN1_OCTET_STRING\fR
content pointer. That means that for example:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& ASN1_OCTET_STRING **pconf = CMS_get0_content(cms);
.Ve
.PP
\&\fB*pconf\fR could be NULL if there is no embedded content. Applications can
access, modify or create the embedded content in a \fBCMS_ContentInfo\fR structure
using this function. Applications usually will not need to modify the
embedded content as it is normally set by higher level functions.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBCMS_get0_type()\fR and \fBCMS_get0_eContentType()\fR return and ASN1_OBJECT structure.
.PP
\&\fBCMS_set1_eContentType()\fR returns 1 for success or 0 if an error occurred. The
error can be obtained from \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
