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  security
     layer the output is identical to the input.

     sasl_encodev does the same, but for a struct  iovec  instead
     of a character 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.
