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.


CONFORMING TO
       RFC 2222
