sasl_decode(10 July 2001)                                                          sasl_decode(10 July 2001)



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
