# dkim_sig_process()

[back to index]

SYNOPSIS

    #include <dkim.h>

    DKIM_STAT dkim_sig_process(
    	DKIM *dkim,
    	DKIM_SIGINFO *sig
    );

Runs verification on a signature, returning a result. The function will retrieve the key needed to verify the signature if that hasn't already been done, and if called from the final callback, compare the computed body hash to the one found in the signature.

Upon completion of processing of the signature, the caller may use `dkim_sig_getflags()` and `dkim_sig_getbh()` to retrieve the results of the processing.

DESCRIPTION

Called When | `dkim_sig_process()` can be called from within the user prescreen or final callbacks, if defined.

ARGUMENTS

Argument | Description
--- | ---
dkim | DKIM handle, returned by a prior call to `dkim_verify()`.
sig | Signature-specific handle generated by the library.

RETURN VALUES

Return Value | Description
--- | ---
DKIM_STAT_OK | Signature processing was completed.
DKIM_STAT_NORESOURCE | The library was unable to create one or more data structures required to complete the processing.

NOTES

- A positive result from `dkim_sig_getflags()` after calling this function during the prescreen callback is not sufficient to conclude that the signature is good, since at that time a final result from `dkim_sig_getbh()` is not available. The latter must be tested in the final callback to ensure that the signature was good and the signature's body hash matched the one computed by the library.
