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	secu-
       rity layer the output is identical to the input.

       sasl_encodev  does the same, but for a struct iovec instead of a char-
       acter buffer.

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


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


CONFORMING TO
       RFC 2222
