SYNOPSIS

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

SASL_BADVERS

SASL_BADPARAM

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.
