NAME

       sasl_encodev - 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

                     • conn – is the SASL connection context

                     • output – contains the decoded data and is allocated/freed by the library.

                     • outputlen – length of output.

              int sasl_encodev(sasl_conn_t *conn,

              const struct iovec * invec,

              unsigned numiov,

              const char ** output,

              unsigned * outputlen);

              Parameters

                     • conn – is the SASL connection context

                     • output – contains the decoded data and is allocated/freed by the library.

                     • 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.
