=head1 NAME

CMS_digest_create_ex, CMS_digest_create
- Create CMS DigestedData object

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/cms.h>

 CMS_ContentInfo *CMS_digest_create_ex(BIO *in, const EVP_MD *md,
                                       unsigned int flags, OSSL_LIB_CTX *ctx,
                                       const char *propq);

 CMS_ContentInfo *CMS_digest_create(BIO *in, const EVP_MD *md,
                                    unsigned int flags);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

CMS_digest_create_ex() creates a B<CMS_ContentInfo> structure
with a type B<NID_pkcs7_digest>. The data supplied via the I<in> BIO is digested
using I<md>. The library context I<libctx> and the property query I<propq> are
used when retrieving algorithms from providers.
The I<flags> field supports the B<CMS_DETACHED> and B<CMS_STREAM> flags,
Internally CMS_final() is called unless B<CMS_STREAM> is specified.

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

CMS_digest_create() is similar to CMS_digest_create_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_digest_create_ex() and CMS_digest_create()
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.

The CMS_digest_create_ex() method was added in OpenSSL 3.0.
