sasl_encode(3SASL)			      Simple Authentication Security Layer Library Functions				sasl_encode(3SASL)

NAME

       sasl_encode, sasl_encodev - encode data for transport to an authenticated host

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lsasl	 [ library ... ]
       #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 *outputlen);

DESCRIPTION

       The sasl_encode() interface encodes data to be sent to a remote host for which there has been a successful authentication session. If there
       is a negotiated security, the data is signed or encrypted, and the output is sent without modification to the remote host. If there  is	no
       security layer, the output is identical to the input.

       The  sasl_encodev() interface functions the same as the sasl_encode() interface, but operates on a struct iovec instead of a character buf-
       fer.

PARAMETERS

       conn	       The SASL connection context.

       input	       Data.

       inputlen        input length.

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

       outputlen       The length of output.

       invec	       A pointer to set of iovec structures.

       numiov	       The number of iovec structures in the invec set.

RETURN VALUES

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

ERRORS

       SASL_OK	       The call to sasl_encode() or sasl_encodev()was successful.

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