 sasl_encode 3SASL "22 Oct 2003" "SunOS 5.11" "Simple Authentication Security Layer Library Functions"
 NAME
sasl_encode, sasl_encodev - encode data for transport to an authenticated host

 SYNOPSIS


cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lsasl [ library ... ]
#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 *outputlen);




 DESCRIPTION

The sasl_encode() interface encodes data to be sent to a remote host for
which there has been a successful authentication session. If there is a
negotiated security, the data is signed or encrypted, and the output is sent
without modification to the remote host. If there is no security layer, the
output is identical to the input.


The sasl_encodev() interface functions the same as the
sasl_encode() interface, but operates on a struct iovec instead of
a character buffer.

 PARAMETERS

conn


The SASL connection context.





input


Data.





inputlen


input length.





output


The encoded data. output must be allocated or freed by the library.





outputlen


The length of output.





invec


A pointer to set of iovec structures.





numiov


The number of iovec structures in the invec set.




 RETURN VALUES

sasl_encode() returns an integer that corresponds to a SASL error code.

 ERRORS

SASL_OK


The call to sasl_encode() or sasl_encodev()was successful.





See sasl_errors(3SASL) for information on SASL error codes.
