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 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.
