💖 PEM_WRITE_BIO_PKCS7_STREAM 💖

okay bestie so this is a page from the 3ossl manual (that's the OpenSSL girlies, you know the vibe 👑) and it's about exactly one function that writes a PKCS7 structure out in PEM format. it's short, it's sweet, it's giving "one job, done well" energy ✨

#include <openssl/pkcs7.h>

int PEM_write_bio_PKCS7_stream(BIO *out, PKCS7 *p7, BIO *data, int flags);

like, include the header first obviously 🙈

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so PEM_write_bio_PKCS7_stream() outputs a PKCS7 structure in PEM format. that's the whole job description bestie, no hidden lore ✨

other than that? it is otherwise identical to the function SMIME_write_PKCS7(). same energy, different wrapper. iykyk 💫

🍓 NOTES 🍓

this function is effectively a version of PEM_write_bio_PKCS7() that supports streaming. so like, the O.G. but with streaming unlocked 🌈 iconic behaviour honestly

💜 RETURN VALUES 💜

PEM_write_bio_PKCS7_stream() returns 1 for success or 0 for failure. that's the whole vibe check: 1 slay, 0 nope 😭
