NAME
gsasl_step - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gsasl.h>
int gsasl_step(Gsasl_session * sctx, const char * input, size_t input_len, char ** output, size_t * output_len);
ARGUMENTS
Gsasl_session * sctx
libgsasl session handle.
const char * input
input byte array.
size_t input_len
size of input byte array.
char ** output
newly allocated output byte array.
size_t * output_len

DESCRIPTION
Perform one step of SASL authentication. This reads data from the other end (from input and input_len), processes it (potentially invoking
callbacks to the application), and writes data to server (into newly allocated variable output and output_len that indicate the length of
output).
The contents of the output buffer is unspecified if this functions returns anything other than GSASL_OK or GSASL_NEEDS_MORE. If this func-
tion return GSASL_OK or GSASL_NEEDS_MORE, however, the output buffer is allocated by this function, and it is the responsibility of caller
to deallocate it by calling free (output).
RETURN VALUE
Returns GSASL_OK if authenticated terminated successfully, GSASL_NEEDS_MORE if more data is needed, or error code.
