NAMEsasl_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);
DESCRIPTIONsasl_getopt_t is used to retrieve an option, often mecha-
nism specific, from the application. An example of this is
requested what KERBEROS_V4 srvtab file to use. plu-
gin_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 call-
back 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is no longer valid.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.
