sasl_getopt_t(10 July 2001)                                                      sasl_getopt_t(10 July 2001)



NAME
       sasl_getopt_t - The SASL get option callback



SYNOPSIS
       #include <sasl/sasl.h>


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


DESCRIPTION
       sasl_getopt_t is used to retrieve an option, often mechanism specific, from the application. An exam-ple example
       ple of this is requested what KERBEROS_V4 srvtab file to use.  plugin_name is the plugin  this  value
       if  for.   option  is  a string representing the option. A common option that all server applications
       should handle is 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, how-ever, however,
       ever, any requested option must remain available until the callback is no  longer  valid.   That  is,
       when  sasl_dispose  is  called for a the connection it is associated with, or sasl_done 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.
