sasl_server_init(3)
NAME
  sasl_server_init - SASL server authentication initialization

SYNOPSIS
  #include <sasl.h>

  int sasl_server_init(
	  const sasl_callback_t *callbacks,
	  const char *appname);

DESCRIPTION
  sasl_server_init initializes SASL. It must be called before any calls to
  sasl_server_start. This call initializes all SASL mechanism 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.  appname is the
  name of the application. It is used to determine where to find the default
  configuration file.

RETURN VALUE
  sasl_server_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

CONFORMING TO
  RFC 2222
