sasl_client_init(3)


NAME

  sasl_client_init - SASL client authentication initialization


SYNOPSIS

  #include <sasl.h>

  int sasl_client_init(
	  const	 sasl_callback_t *callbacks);


DESCRIPTION

  sasl_client_init initializes SASL. It must be called before any calls to
  sasl_client_start. This call initializes all SASL client drivers (e.g.
  authentication mechanisms). These are usually found in /usr/lib/sasl, but
  the directory may be overridden with the SASL_PATH environment variable.
  The callbacks parameter specifies the base callbacks for all client
  connections. See sasl_callbacks(3) for more information.


RETURN VALUE

  sasl_client_init returns an integer which corresponds to one of the
  following codes. SASL_OK is the only one that indicates success. All others
  indicate errors and should either be handled or the authentication session
  should be quit.


ERRORS

  SASL_OK
       Success

  SASL_BADVERS
       Mechanism version mismatch

  SASL_BADPARAM
       Error in config file

  SASL_NOMEM
       Not enough memory to complete operation
