DESCRIPTION
       Retrieve password for user from specified file.  To find out how large the output  array  must  be,  call
       this function with out=NULL.

       The  file  should  be on the UoW "MD5 Based Authentication" format, which means it is in text format with
       comments denoted by # first on the line,  with  user  entries  looking  as  "usernameTABpassword".   This
       function removes CR and LF at the end of lines before processing.  TAB, CR, and LF denote ASCII values 9,
       13, and 10, respectively.


RETURN VALUE
       Return  GSASL_OK if output buffer contains the password, GSASL_AUTHENTICATION_ERROR if the user could not
       be found, or other error code.


DEPRECATED
       Use gsasl_simple_getpass() instead.
