This option should be used if the supplied data is in binary format otherwise the translation will corrupt it. If <b>CMS_BINARY</b> is set then <b>CMS_TEXT</b> is ignored.</p> <p>If the <b>CMS_STREAM</b> flag is set a partial <b>CMS_ContentInfo</b> structure is returned suitable for streaming I/O: no data is read from the BIO <b>in</b>.</p> <p>The compressed data is included in the CMS_ContentInfo structure, unless <b>CMS_DETACHED</b> is set in which case it is omitted. This is rarely used in practice and is not supported by SMIME_write_CMS().</p> <h1 id="NOTES1">NOTES</h1> <p>If the flag <b>CMS_STREAM</b> is set the returned <b>CMS_ContentInfo</b> structure is <b>not</b> complete and outputting its contents via a function that does not properly finalize the <b>CMS_ContentInfo</b> structure will give unpredictable results.</p> <p>Several functions including SMIME_write_CMS(), i2d_CMS_bio_stream(), PEM_write_bio_CMS_stream() finalize the structure. Alternatively finalization can be performed by obtaining the streaming ASN1 <b>BIO</b> directly using BIO_new_CMS().</p> <p>Additional compression parameters such as the zlib compression level cannot currently be set.</p> <h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1> <p>CMS_compress() returns either a CMS_ContentInfo structure or NULL if an error occurred.
