SASL_ENCODE(3SASL)SASL_ENCODE(3SASL)NAME
sasl_encode, sasl_encodev - encode data for transport to an authenti‐
cated 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 out‐
put 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 VALUESsasl_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.
