NAME

sasl_encodev − 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.

int sasl_encode(sasl_conn_t *conn,

const char * input,

unsigned inputlen,

const char ** output,

unsigned * outputlen);

Parameters

•

conn

– is the SASL connection context

•

output

– contains the decoded data and is allocated/freed by the library.

•

outputlen

– length of

output

int sasl_encodev(sasl_conn_t *conn,

const struct iovec * invec,

unsigned numiov,

const char ** output,

unsigned * outputlen);

Parameters

•

conn

– is the SASL connection context

•

output

– contains the decoded data and is allocated/freed by the library.

•

outputlen

– length of

output

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.
