CMS_EncryptedData_encrypt_ex, CMS_EncryptedData_encrypt
- Create CMS EncryptedData

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/cms.h>

 CMS_ContentInfo *CMS_EncryptedData_encrypt_ex(BIO *in,
                                               const EVP_CIPHER *cipher,
                                               const unsigned char *key,
                                               size_t keylen,
                                               unsigned int flags,
                                               OSSL_LIB_CTX *ctx,
                                               const char *propq);

 CMS_ContentInfo *CMS_EncryptedData_encrypt(BIO *in,
     const EVP_CIPHER *cipher, const unsigned char *key, size_t keylen,
     unsigned int flags);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

CMS_EncryptedData_encrypt_ex() creates a B<CMS_ContentInfo> structure
with a type B<NID_pkcs7_encrypted>. I<in> is a BIO containing the data to
encrypt using I<cipher> and the encryption key I<key> of size I<keylen> bytes.
The library context I<libctx> and the property query I<propq> are used when
retrieving algorithms from providers. I<flags> is a set of optional flags.

The I<flags> field supports the options B<CMS_DETACHED>, B<CMS_STREAM> and
B<CMS_PARTIAL>. Internally CMS_final() is called unless B<CMS_STREAM> and/or
B<CMS_PARTIAL> is specified.

The algorithm passed in the I<cipher> parameter must support ASN1 encoding of
its parameters.

The B<CMS_ContentInfo> structure can be freed using L<CMS_ContentInfo_free(3)>.

CMS_EncryptedData_encrypt() is similar to CMS_EncryptedData_encrypt_ex()
but uses default values of NULL for the library context I<libctx> and the
property query I<propq>.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

If the allocation fails, CMS_EncryptedData_encrypt_ex() and
CMS_EncryptedData_encrypt() return NULL and set an error code that can be
obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>. Otherwise they return a pointer to the newly
allocated structure.

L<ERR_get_error(3)>, L<CMS_final(3)>, L<CMS_EncryptedData_decrypt(3)>

=head1 HISTORY

The CMS_EncryptedData_encrypt_ex() method was added in OpenSSL 3.0.
