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.
