NAME
       sasl_encode  -  Encode data for transport to authenticated
       host



SYNOPSIS
       #include 


       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 mean-
       ings of other return codes.


CONFORMING TO
       RFC 2222
