  • 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 example 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 "pwcheck_method" which represents the
      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, however, 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      until the callback is no longer valid.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.
