sasl_client_init(21


NAME

  sasl_client_init - SASL client authentication initialization


SYNOPSIS

  #include <sasl/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 the /usr/lib/sasl2
  directory but the directory may be overridden with the SASL_PATH
  environment variable.

  callbacks specifies the base callbacks for all client connections. See the
  sasl_callbacks man page 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
