sasl_encode3

Usage

#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);

Overview

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.

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.
