SYNOPSIS

       #include <libmemcached/memcached.h>
              Compile and link with -lmemcached

       void memcached_set_sasl_callbacks(memcached_st *ptr, const sasl_callback_t *callbacks)

              Parametersptr -- pointer to initialized memcached_st struct

                     • callbacks -- pointer to sasl_callbacks_t holding the callbacks to use

       const sasl_callback_t *memcached_get_sasl_callbacks(memcached_st *ptr)

              Parameters
                     ptr -- pointer to initialized memcached_st struct

              Returns
                     pointer to sasl_callbacks_t holding the callbacks currently used

       memcached_return_t  memcached_set_sasl_auth_data(memcached_st  *ptr, const char *username,
       const char *password)

              Parametersptr -- pointer to initialized memcached_st struct

                     • username --

                     • password --

              Returns
                     memcached_return_t indicating success

       memcached_return_t memcached_destroy_sasl_auth_data(memcached_st *ptr)

              Parameters
                     ptr -- pointer to initialized memcached_st struct

              Returns
                     memcached_return_t indicating success

DESCRIPTION

       libmemcached allows you to plug in your own callbacks function used by libsasl to  perform
       SASL authentication.

       Please  note that SASL requires the memcached binary protocol, and you have to specify the
       callbacks before you connect to the server.

       memcached_set_sasl_auth_data() is a helper function defining the basic  functionality  for
       you,  but  it  will  store  the username and password in memory. If you choose to use this
       method you have to call memcached_destroy_sasl_auth_data() before calling memcached_free()
       to  avoid  a  memory  leak.  You should NOT call memcached_destroy_sasl_auth_data() if you
       specify your own callback function with memcached_set_sasl_callbacks().

RETURN VALUE

       memcached_get_sasl_callbacks() returns the callbacks  currently  used  by  this  memcached
       handle. memcached_set_sasl_auth_data() returns MEMCACHED_SUCCESS upon success.
