sasl_encode - Encode data for transport to authenticated host

#include <sasl/sasl.h>

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

I int sasl_encodev(sasl_conn_t  *conn , 
I 		     const struct iovec *  invec ,  
I 	             unsigned  numiov ,  
I 		     const char **  output ,  
I 		     unsigned *  outputlen );  

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.

Returns SASL_OK on success. See sasl_errors(3) for meanings of other return codes.
