SYNOPSIS

       sasl-sample-client  [-b  min=N,max=N]   [-e  ssf=N,id=ID]   [-m  MECH]   [-f  FLAGS]   [-i

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the sasl-sample-client command.

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does
       not have a manual page.

       sasl-sample-client is a program to demonstrate and test SASL authentication. It implements
       the client part, and the server part is available as sasl-sample-server.
