Rich Salz a528d4f0a9 Remove SSLeay history, etc., from docs
If something was "present in all versions" of SSLeay, or if it was
added to a version of SSLeay (and therefore predates OpenSSL),
remove mention of it.  Documentation history now starts with OpenSSL.

Remove mention of all history before OpenSSL 0.9.8, inclusive.

Remove all AUTHOR sections.

=head1 NAME
CMS_uncompress - uncompress a CMS CompressedData structure
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/cms.h>
int CMS_uncompress(CMS_ContentInfo *cms, BIO *dcont, BIO *out, unsigned int flags);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
CMS_uncompress() extracts and uncompresses the content from a CMS
CompressedData structure B<cms>. B<data> is a BIO to write the content to and
B<flags> is an optional set of flags.
The B<dcont> parameter is used in the rare case where the compressed content
is detached. It will normally be set to NULL.
=head1 NOTES
The only currently supported compression algorithm is zlib: if the structure
indicates the use of any other algorithm an error is returned.
If zlib support is not compiled into OpenSSL then CMS_uncompress() will always
return an error.
The following flags can be passed in the B<flags> parameter.
If the B<CMS_TEXT> flag is set MIME headers for type B<text/plain> are deleted
from the content. If the content is not of type B<text/plain> then an error is
returned.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
CMS_uncompress() returns either 1 for success or 0 for failure. The error can
be obtained from ERR_get_error(3)
=head1 BUGS
The lack of single pass processing and the need to hold all data in memory as
mentioned in CMS_verify() also applies to CMS_decompress().
