NAME

       sasl_decode - Decode data received

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sasl/sasl.h>

       int sasl_decode(sasl_conn_t *conn,
		      const char * input,
		       unsigned inputlen,
		      const char ** output,
		      unsigned * outputlen);

DESCRIPTION

       sasl_decode decodes data received. After successful authentication this function should be called on all data received. It decodes the data
       from encrypted or signed form to plain data. If there was no security layer negotiated the output is identical to the input.

       output contains the decoded data and is allocated/freed by the library.

       One should not to give sasl_decode more data than the negotiated maxbufsize (see sasl_getprop).

       Note that sasl_decode can succeed and outputlen can be zero. If this is the case simply wait for more data and call sasl_decode again.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns SASL_OK on success. See sasl_errors(3) for meanings of other return codes.

NAME

       sasl_decode - decode data received

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lsasl	 [ library ... ]
       #include <sasl/sasl.h>

       int sasl_decode(sasl_conn_t *conn, const char *input, unsigned inputlen, const char **output, unsigned *outputlen);

DESCRIPTION

       Use the sasl_decode() interface to decode data received. After authentication, call this function on all data received. The data is decoded
       from encrypted or signed form to plain data. If no security lay is negotiated, the output is identical to the input.

       Do not give sasl_decode() more data than the negotiated maxbufsize. See sasl_getprop(3SASL).

       sasl_decode() can complete successfully although the value of outputlen is zero. If  this  is  the  case,  wait	for  more  data  and  call
       sasl_decode() again.

PARAMETERS

       conn		       The SASL connection context.

       input		       Data received.

       inputlen 	       The length of input

       output		       The decoded data. output must be allocated or freed by the library.

       outputlen	       The length of output.

RETURN VALUES

       sasl_decode() returns an integer that corresponds to a SASL error code.

ERRORS

       SASL_OK	       The call to sasl_decode() was successful.

       See sasl_errors(3SASL) for information on SASL error codes.
