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
       RFC 2222
