NAME
     saslencode, saslencodev - encode data for transport to  an
     authenticated host

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

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


     int  saslencodev(saslconnt *conn, const struct iovec *invec,
          unsigned numiov, const char *outputlen);


DESCRIPTION
     The saslencode() interface encodes data to  be  sent  to  a
     remote  host for which there has been a successful authenti-
     cation session. If there is a negotiated security, the  data
     is  signed  or  encrypted,  and  the  output is sent without
     modification to the remote host. If  there  is  no  security
     layer, the output is identical to the input.


     The saslencodev()  interface  functions  the  same  as  the
     saslencode()  interface,  but  operates  on  a struct iovec
     instead of a character buffer.

PARAMETERS
     conn         The SASL connection context.


     input        Data.


     inputlen     input length.


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


     outputlen    The length of output.


     invec        A pointer to set of iovec structures.


     numiov       The number of iovec  structures  in  the  invec
                  set.
