       Client applications need this list so that they  know  what  mechanisms
       the server supports.

       conn the SASL context for this connection user (optional) restricts the
       mechanism list to only those available to the user.  prefix appended to
       beginning  of result sep appended between mechanisms suffix appended to
       end of result result NULL terminated result string (allocated/freed  by

       Number of mechanisms available (filled in by library). May be NULL

       Example:

       sasllistmech(conn,NULL,"(",",",")",&mechlist,NULL,NULL);

       may give the string
       ((AANNOONNYYMMOOUUSS,,KKEERRBBEERROOSSVV44,,DDIIGGEESSTT-MMDD55))
