signer. This means that attributes must be present in at least one existing
signer using the same message digest or this operation will fail.
+The B<-stream> and B<-indef> options enable experimental streaming I/O support.
+As a result the encoding is BER using indefinite length constructed encoding
+and no longer DER. Streaming is supported for the B<-encrypt> operation and the
+B<-sign> operation if the content is not detached.
+
+Streaming is always used for the B<-sign> operation with detached data but
+since the content is no longer part of the PKCS#7 structure the encoding
+remains DER.
