sasl_encodev3
Cyrus sasl documentation
Usage
#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);
Overview
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.

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.
