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 structiovec instead of a character buffer.
intsasl_encode(sasl_conn_t*conn,constchar*input,unsignedinputlen,constchar**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.
intsasl_encodev(sasl_conn_t*conn,conststructiovec*invec,unsignednumiov,constchar**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.

indicates success.
Other return codes indicate errors and should be handled.
