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. CONFORMING TO

NAME
sasl_encode - Encode data for transport to authenticated host SYNOPSIS
#include <sasl/sasl.h> int sasl_encode(sasl_conn_t *conn, const char * input, unsigned inputlen, const char ** output, unsigned * outputlen); int sasl_encodev(sasl_conn_t *conn, const struct iovec * invec, unsigned numiov, const char ** output, unsigned * outputlen); DESCRIPTION
sasl_encode encodes data to be sent to be sent to a remote host who we've had a successful authentication session with. If there is a nego- tiated security the data in signed/encrypted and the output should be sent without modification to the remote host. If there is no security layer the output is identical to the input. sasl_encodev does the same, but for a struct iovec instead of a character buffer. output contains the encoded data and is allocated/freed by the library. RETURN VALUE
Returns SASL_OK on success. See sasl_errors(3) for meanings of other return codes. CONFORMING TO
