NAME

sasl_encode - 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.

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.
