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.
