+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);

+
+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.
