sasl_encode(10 July 2001)

NAME
sasl_encode - Encode data for transport to authenticated host

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. 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.
