SASL_DECODE(3)                    Cyrus SASL                    SASL_DECODE(3)

NAME
       sasl_decode - Cyrus SASL documentation

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sasl/sasl.h>

       int sasl_decode(sasl_conn_t *conn,
                      const char * input,
                       unsigned inputlen,
                      const char ** output,
                      unsigned * outputlen);

DESCRIPTION

       int sasl_decode(sasl_conn_t *conn,

       const char * input,

       unsigned inputlen,

       const char ** output,

       unsigned * outputlen);
              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.

              Parameters

                     o conn - is the SASL connection context

                     o output - contains the decoded data and is
                       allocated/freed by the library.

                     o outputlen - length of output.

              One should not give  sasl_decode  more  data  than  the
              negotiated maxbufsize (see sasl_getprop(3)).

              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
       SASL  callback  functions should return SASL return codes.  See sasl.h
       for a complete list. SASL_OK indicates success.

       Other return codes indicate errors and should be handled.
