.. saslman:: sasl_encode64(3) .. _sasl-reference-manpages-library-sasl_encode64: ======================================== **sasl_encode64** - Encode base64 string ======================================== Synopsis ======== .. code-block:: C #include <sasl/saslutil.h> int sasl_encode64(const char * input, unsigned inputlen, const char ** output, unsigned outmax, unsigned * outputlen); Description =========== Use the **sasl_encode64()** interface to convert an octet string into a base64 string. This routine is useful for SASL profiles that use base64, such as the IMAP (IMAP4) and POP (POP_AUTH) profiles. The output is nullâterminated. If outlen is nonâNULL, the length is placed in the outlen. .. c:function:: int sasl_encode64(const char * input, unsigned inputlen, const char ** output, unsigned outmax, unsigned * outputlen); :param input: input data. :param inputlen: length of the input data. :param output: contains the decoded data. The value of out can be the same as in. However, there must be enough space. :param outputlen: length of `output`. :param outmax: The maximum size of the output buffer. Return Value ============ SASL functions should return SASL return codes. See sasl.h for a complete list. :c:macro:`SASL_OK` indicates success. Other return codes indicate errors and should be handled. See Also ======== :rfc:`4422`,:saslman:`sasl(3)`, :saslman:`sasl_decode64(3)`, :saslman:`sasl_errors(3)`, :saslman:`sasl_encode(3)`
