SMIME_TEXT(3)

📦 version 4.1.0, in opensuse-leap 16.0

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to SMIME_TEXT(3) from the Library Functions Manual — this is all about SMIME_text — remove text/plain MIME headers. that's the whole assignment, and it ate. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <openssl/asn1.h>

int
SMIME_text(BIO *in_bio, BIO *out_bio);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the way that SMIME_text() works is genuinely iconic: it reads MIME headers from in_bio, checks that the content type is "text/plain", discards the MIME headers, and copies the text that follows the headers from in_bio to out_bio. no cap, that's the whole flow. ✨

🌸 RETURN VALUES 🌸

SMIME_text() returns 1 on success, or 0 if memory allocation, reading the input, or parsing the MIME headers fails, if there is no "content-type" header, or if the content type is not "text/plain". so yeah, zero is the “nope, something did not slay” answer. 😭

💜 HISTORY 💜

SMIME_text() first appeared in OpenSSL 1.0.0 and has been available since OpenBSD 4.9. look at her, little historic main character. 👑

💀 CAVEATS 💀

bestie, important: SMIME_text() does not support non-blocking BIOs. periodt. 💀
