NAME
       sasl_decode - Decode data received



SYNOPSIS
       #include <sasl/sasl.h>


       int sasl_decode(sasl_conn_t *conn,
		      const char * input,
		       unsigned inputlen,
		      const char ** output,
		      unsigned * outputlen);


DESCRIPTION
       sasl_decode decodes data received. After succesful authentication this
       function should be called on all data received. It  decodes  the	 data
       from  encrypted or signed form to plain data. If there was no security
       layer negotiated the output is identical to the input.

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

       One  should  not	 to  give  sasl_decode	more data than the negotiated
       maxbufsize (see sasl_getprop).

       Note that sasl_decode can succeed and outputlen can be zero.  If	 this
       is the case simply wait for more data and call sasl_decode again.




RETURN VALUE
       Returns	SASL_OK	 on success. See sasl_errors(3) for meanings of other
       return codes.


CONFORMING TO
       RFC 2222
