sasl_encode: Encode data for transport to authenticated host
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.
