 DESCRIPTION

The sasl_errstring() interface is called to convert a SASL return code
from an integer into a human readable string.


You should not used the sasl_errstring() interface to extract error code
information from SASL. Applications should use sasl_errdetail(3SASL)
instead, which contains this error information and more.


The sasl_errstring() interface supports only i-default and
i-local at this time.

 PARAMETERS

langlist


A comma-separated list of languages. See RFC 1766. If thelanglist
parameter has aNULL value, the default language,i-default, is used.





outlang


The language actually used. The outlang parameter can be NULL. The
returned error string is in UTF-8.




 RETURN VALUES

sasl_errstring() returns the string that describes the error that
occurred, or NULL, if there was an error retrieving it.
