NAME
       sasl_decode - Decode data received



SYNOPSIS
       #include 


       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 negoti-
       ated 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 mean-
       ings of other return codes.
