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 null‐terminated. If outlen is non‐NULL, 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.
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.
