SYNOPSIS

       #include <sasl/sasl.h>

       int sasl_listmech(sasl_conn_t *conn,
                        const char *user,
                        const char *prefix,
                        const char *sep,
                        const char *suffix,
                        const char **result,
                        unsigned *plen,
                        int *pcount);

DESCRIPTION

       sasl_listmech()  returns a string listing the SASL names of all the mechanisms available to the specified
       user. This is typically given to the client through a capability  command  or  initial  server  response.
       Client applications need this list so that they know what mechanisms the server supports.

       conn  the  SASL  context  for  this connection user (optional) restricts the mechanism list to only those
       available to the user.  prefix appended to beginning of result sep  appended  between  mechanisms  suffix
       appended  to  end of result result NULL terminated result string (allocated/freed by library) plen length
       of result filled in by library. May be NULL pcount Number of mechanisms available (filled in by library).
       May be NULL

       Example:

       sasl_listmech(conn,NULL,"(",",",")",&mechlist,NULL,NULL);

       may give the string
       (ANONYMOUS,KERBEROS_V4,DIGEST-MD5)
       as a result

RETURN VALUE

       Returns SASL_OK on success. SASL error code on failure.
