+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+CMS_signerInfo contains separate attribute lists for signed and unsigned
+attributes. Each CMS_signed_XXX() function is used for signed attributes, and
+each CMS_unsigned_XXX() function is used for unsigned attributes.
+Since the CMS_unsigned_XXX() functions work in the same way as the
+CMS_signed_XXX() equivalents, only the CMS_signed_XXX() functions are
+described below.
+
+CMS_signed_get_attr_by_OBJ() finds the location of the first matching object
+I<obj> in the SignerInfo's I<si> signed attribute list. The search starts at the
+position after I<lastpos>. If the returned value is positive then it can be used
+on the next call to CMS_signed_get_attr_by_OBJ() as the value of I<lastpos> in
+order to iterate through the remaining attributes. I<lastpos> can be set to any
+negative value on the first call, in order to start searching from the start of
+the signed attribute list.
+
+CMS_signed_get_attr_by_NID() is similar to CMS_signed_get_attr_by_OBJ() except
+that it passes the numerical identifier (NID) I<nid> associated with the object.
+See <openssl/obj_mac.h> for a list of NID_*.
+
+CMS_signed_get_attr() returns the B<X509_ATTRIBUTE> object at index I<loc> in the
+I<si> signed attribute list. I<loc> should be in the range from 0 to
+CMS_signed_get_attr_count() - 1.
+
+CMS_signed_delete_attr() removes the B<X509_ATTRIBUTE> object at index I<loc> in
+the I<si> signed attribute list. An error occurs if the I<si> attribute list
+is NULL.
+
+CMS_signed_add1_attr() pushes a copy of the passed in B<X509_ATTRIBUTE> object
+to the I<si> signed attribute list. A new signed attribute list is created if
+required. An error occurs if I<attr> is NULL.
+
+CMS_signed_add1_attr_by_OBJ() creates a new signed B<X509_ATTRIBUTE> using
+X509_ATTRIBUTE_set1_object() and X509_ATTRIBUTE_set1_data() to assign a new
+I<obj> with type I<type> and data I<bytes> of length I<len> and then pushes it
+to the I<key> object's attribute list.
+
+CMS_signed_add1_attr_by_NID() is similar to CMS_signed_add1_attr_by_OBJ() except
+that it passes the numerical identifier (NID) I<nid> associated with the object.
+See <openssl/obj_mac.h> for a list of NID_*.
+
+CMS_signed_add1_attr_by_txt() is similar to CMS_signed_add1_attr_by_OBJ()
+except that it passes a name I<attrname> associated with the object.
+See <openssl/obj_mac.h> for a list of SN_* names.
+
+CMS_signed_get0_data_by_OBJ() finds the first attribute in a I<si> signed
+attributes list that matches the I<obj> starting at index I<lastpos>
+and returns the data retrieved from the found attributes first B<ASN1_TYPE>
+object. An error will occur if the attribute type I<type> does not match the
+type of the B<ASN1_TYPE> object OR if I<type> is either B<V_ASN1_BOOLEAN> or
+B<V_ASN1_NULL> OR the attribute is not found.
+If I<lastpos> is less than -1 then an error will occur if there are multiple
+objects in the signed attribute list that match I<obj>.
+If I<lastpos> is less than -2 then an error will occur if there is more than
+one B<ASN1_TYPE> object in the found signed attribute.
+
+Refer to L<X509_ATTRIBUTE(3)> for information related to attributes.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+The CMS_unsigned_XXX() functions return values are similar to those of the
+equivalent CMS_signed_XXX() functions.
+
+CMS_signed_get_attr_count() returns the number of signed attributes in the
+SignerInfo I<si>, or -1 if the signed attribute list is NULL.
+
+CMS_signed_get_attr_by_OBJ() returns -1 if either the signed attribute list of
+I<si> is empty OR if I<obj> is not found, otherwise it returns the location of
+the I<obj> in the SignerInfo's I<si> signed attribute list.
+
+CMS_signed_get_attr_by_NID() is similar to CMS_signed_get_attr_by_OBJ() except
+that it returns -2 if the I<nid> is not known by OpenSSL.
+
+CMS_signed_get_attr() returns either a signed B<X509_ATTRIBUTE> or NULL on error.
+
+CMS_signed_delete_attr() returns either the removed signed B<X509_ATTRIBUTE> or
+NULL if there is a error.
+
+CMS_signed_add1_attr(), CMS_signed_add1_attr_by_OBJ(),
+CMS_signed_add1_attr_by_NID(), CMS_signed_add1_attr_by_txt(),
+return 1 on success or 0 on error.
+
+CMS_signed_get0_data_by_OBJ() returns the data retrieved from the found
+signed attributes first B<ASN1_TYPE> object, or NULL if an error occurs.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+Some attributes are added automatically during the signing process.
+
+Calling CMS_SignerInfo_sign() adds the NID_pkcs9_signingTime signed
+attribute.
+
+Calling CMS_final(), CMS_final_digest() or CMS_dataFinal() adds the
+NID_pkcs9_messageDigest signed attribute.
+
+The NID_pkcs9_contentType signed attribute is always added if the
+NID_pkcs9_signingTime attribute is added.
+
+Calling CMS_sign_ex(), CMS_sign_receipt() or CMS_add1_signer() may add
+attributes depending on the flags parameter. See L<CMS_add1_signer(3)> for
+more information.
+
+OpenSSL applies special rules for the following attribute NIDs:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item CMS Signed Attributes
+
+NID_pkcs9_contentType
+NID_pkcs9_messageDigest
+NID_pkcs9_signingTime
+
+=item ESS Signed Attributes
+
+NID_id_smime_aa_signingCertificate
+NID_id_smime_aa_signingCertificateV2
+NID_id_smime_aa_receiptRequest
+
+=item CMS Unsigned Attributes
+
+NID_pkcs9_countersignature

+=back
+
+CMS_signed_add1_attr(), CMS_signed_add1_attr_by_OBJ(),
+CMS_signed_add1_attr_by_NID(), CMS_signed_add1_attr_by_txt()
+and the equivalent CMS_unsigned_add1_attrXXX() functions allow
+duplicate attributes to be added. The attribute rules are not checked
+during these function calls, and are deferred until the sign or verify process
+(i.e. during calls to any of CMS_sign_ex(), CMS_sign(), CMS_sign_receipt(),
+CMS_add1_signer(), CMS_Final(), CMS_dataFinal(), CMS_final_digest(),
+CMS_verify(), CMS_verify_receipt() or CMS_SignedData_verify()).
+
+For CMS attribute rules see RFC 5652 Section 11.
+For ESS attribute rules see RFC 2634 Section 1.3.4 and RFC 5035 Section 5.4.
