SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lsasl [ library ... ]
#include <sasl/sasl.h>
int sasl_decode(sasl_conn_t *conn, const char *input, unsigned inputlen,
const char **output, unsigned *outputlen);
DESCRIPTION
Use the sasl_decode() interface to decode data received. After authen‐
tication, call this function on all data received. The data is decoded
from encrypted or signed form to plain data. If no security lay is
negotiated, the output is identical to the input.
Do not give sasl_decode() more data than the negotiated maxbufsize.
See sasl_getprop(3SASL).
sasl_decode() can complete successfully although the value of outputlen
is zero. If this is the case, wait for more data and call sasl_decode()
again.
PARAMETERS
conn
The SASL connection context.
input
Data received.
inputlen
The length of input
output
The decoded data. output must be allocated or freed by the
library.
outputlen
The length of output.
RETURN VALUESsasl_decode() returns an integer that corresponds to a SASL error code.
ERRORS
SASL_OK
The call to sasl_decode() was successful.
