ASN1_OBJECT *CMS_get0_eContentType() returns a pointer to the embedded

CMS_get0_content() returns a pointer to the B<ASN1_OCTET_STRING> pointer
containing the embedded content.

The return value of CMS_get0_content() is a pointer to the B<ASN1_OCTET_STRING>
content pointer. That means that for example:
ASN1_OCTET_STRING **pconf = CMS_get0_content(cms);
B<*pconf> could be NULL if there is no embedded content. Applications can
access, modify or create the embedded content in a B<CMS_ContentInfo> structure
using this function. Applications usually will not need to modify the
embedded content as it is normally set by higher level functions.

=head1 NAME
d2i_CMS_ContentInfo, i2d_CMS_ContentInfo - CMS ContentInfo functions
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/cms.h>
CMS_ContentInfo *d2i_CMS_ContentInfo(CMS_ContentInfo **a, unsigned char **pp, long length);
int i2d_CMS_ContentInfo(CMS_ContentInfo *a, unsigned char **pp);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
These functions decode and encode an CMS ContentInfo structure.
Otherwise they behave in a similar way to d2i_X509() and i2d_X509()
described in the L<d2i_X509(3)|d2i_X509(3)> manual page.
=head1 SEE ALSO
L<d2i_X509(3)|d2i_X509(3)>
=head1 HISTORY
These functions were first added to OpenSSL 0.9.8
