tion

before any calls to sasl_client_start. This call initial-
izes all SASL client drivers (e.g. authentication mecha-
nisms). These are usually found in the /usr/lib/sasl
directory but the directory may be overriden with the
SASL_PATH enviornment variable.
callbacks specifies the base callbacks for all client con-
nections. See the sasl_callbacks man page for more infor-
mation

one of the following codes. SASL_OK is the only one that
indicates success. All others indicate errors and should
either be handled or the authentication session should be
quit.
