SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lsasl [ library ... ]
#include <sasl/sasl.h>
int sasl_listmech(sasl_conn_t *conn, const char *user, const char *pre‐
fix, const char *sep, const char *suffix, const char **result, unsigned
*plen, int *pcount);
DESCRIPTION
The sasl_listmech() interface returns a string listing the SASL names
of all the mechanisms available to the specified user. This call 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.
PARAMETERS
conn The SASL context for this connection user restricts the
mechanism list to those mechanisms available to the
user. This parameter is optional.
user Restricts security mechanisms to those available to
that user. The value of user may be NULL, and it is not
used if called by the client application.
prefix Appended to the beginning of result.
sep Appended between mechanisms.
suffix Appended to the end of result.
result A null-terminated result string. result must be allo‐
cated or freed by the library.
plen The length of the result filled in by the library. The
value of plen may be NULL.
pcount The number of mechanisms available. The value of pcount
is filled in by the library. The value of pcount may be
NULL
RETURN VALUESsasl_listmech() returns an integer that corresponds to a SASL error
code.
ERRORS
SASL_OK The call to sasl_listmech() was successful.
