SASL_ENCODE(3) Cyrus SASL SASL_ENCODE(3)
NAME sasl_encode - Cyrus SASL documentation
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 negotiated 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.
int sasl_encode(sasl_conn_t *conn,
const char * input,
unsigned inputlen,
const char ** output,
unsigned * outputlen);
Parameters
o conn - is the SASL connection context
o output - contains the decoded data and is allocated/freed by the library.
o outputlen - length of output.
int sasl_encodev(sasl_conn_t *conn,
const struct iovec * invec,
unsigned numiov,
const char ** output,
unsigned * outputlen);
o outputlen - length of output.
RETURN VALUE SASL callback functions should return SASL return codes. See sasl.h for a complete list. SASL_OK indicates success.
Other return codes indicate errors and should be handled.
