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/sasl directory but the directory may be overriden with the SASL_PATH enviornment 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
