 SASL_CLIENT_INIT 3SASL "Oct 22, 2003"
 NAME
sasl_client_init - initialize SASL client authentication
 SYNOPSIS

cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lsasl [ library ... ]
#include <sasl/sasl.h>

int sasl_client_init(const sasl_callback_t *callbacks);


 DESCRIPTION

Use the sasl_client_init() interface to initialize SASL. The
sasl_client_init() interface must be called before any calls to
sasl_client_start(3SASL). The call to sasl_client_init()
initiallizes all SASL client drivers, for example, authentication mechanisms.
SASL client drivers are usually found in the /usr/lib/sasl directory.
 PARAMETERS
callbacks

Specifies the base callbacks for all client connections.


 RETURN VALUES

sasl_client_init() returns an integer that corresponds to a SASL error
code.
 ERRORS
SASL_OK

The call to sasl_client_init() was successful.


SASL_BADVERS

There is a mismatch in the mechanism version.


SASL_BADPARAM

There is an error in the configuration file.


SASL_NOMEM

There is not enough memory to complete the operation.


All other error codes indicate an error situation that must be handled, or the
authentication session should be quit. See sasl_errors(3SASL) for
information on SASL error codes.

be called until this function completes.
