NAME

       sasl_getopt_t - Cyrus SASL documentation

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sasl/sasl.h>

       int sasl_getopt_t(void *context,
                      const char *plugin_name,
                      const char *option,
                      const char ** result,
                      unsigned * len);

DESCRIPTION

       int sasl_getopt_t(void *context,

       const char *plugin_name,

       const char *option,

       const char ** result,

       unsigned * len);
              sasl_getopt_t  is  used  to  retrieve an option, often mechanism specific, from the
              application. An example of this is requesting what KERBEROS_V4 srvtab file to use.

              Parameterscontext – is the SASL connection context

                     • plugin_name – is the plugin this value is for.

                     • option – is a string representing the option. A  common  option  that  all
                       server  applications  should  handle  is the method for checking plaintext
                       passwords.  See the administrators guide for a full  description  of  this
                       option.

              Memory  management of options supplied by the getopt callback should be done by the
              application, however, any requested option must remain available until the callback
              is  no  longer valid.  That is, when sasl_dispose(3) is called for a the connection
              it is associated with,  or  sasl_done(3) is called for global callbacks.

RETURN VALUE

       SASL callback functions should return SASL return codes.  See sasl.h for a complete  list.
       SASL_OK indicates success.

       Other return codes indicate errors and should be handled.
