NAME
     sasldecode - decode data received

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lsasl   [ library ... ]
     #include 

     int sasldecode(saslconnt *conn, const char *input, unsigned inputlen,
          const char **output, unsigned *outputlen);


DESCRIPTION
     Use the sasldecode() interface  to  decode  data  received.
     After   authentication,  call  this  function  on  all  data
     received. The data is decoded from encrypted or signed  form
     to  plain data. If no security lay is negotiated, the output
     is identical to the input.


     Do not give sasldecode() more data than the negotiated max-
     bufsize. See saslgetprop(3SASL).


     sasldecode() can complete successfully although  the  value
     of  outputlen  is  zero.  If this is the case, wait for more
     data and call sasldecode() again.

PARAMETERS
     conn         The SASL connection context.


     input        Data received.


     inputlen     The length of input


     output       The decoded data. output must be  allocated  or
                  freed by the library.


     outputlen    The length of output.


RETURN VALUES
     sasldecode() returns an integer that corresponds to a  SASL
     error code.

ERORS
     SASLOK    The call to sasldecode() was successful.
