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 successful  authen-
     tication   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  nego-
     tiated 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.
