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.
