NAME
     saslclientinit - initialize SASL client authentication

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lsasl   [ library ... ]
     #include 

     int saslclientinit(const saslcallbackt *callbacks);


DESCRIPTION
     Use the saslclientinit() interface to initialize SASL. The
     saslclientinit() interface must be called before any calls
     to saslclientstart(3SASL). The call to  saslclientinit()
     initiallizes all SASL client drivers, for example, authenti-
     cation mechanisms. SASL client drivers are usually found  in
     the /usr/lib/sasl directory.

PARAMETERS
     callbacks    Specifies the base  callbacks  for  all  client
                  connections.


RETURN VALUES
     saslclientinit() returns an integer that corresponds to  a
     SASL error code.

ERORS
     SASLOK          The call to saslclientinit() was success-
                      ful.


     SASLBADVERS     There is a mismatch in the  mechanism  ver-
                      sion.


     SASLBADPARAM    There is  an  error  in  the  configuration
                      file.


     SASLNOMEM       There is not enough memory to complete  the
                      operation.



     All other error codes indicate an error situation that  must
     be  handled,  or  the authentication session should be quit.
     See saslerrors(3SASL) for information on SASL error codes.
