SYNOPSIS
       ##iinncclluuddee <>

       iinntt ssaassllsseerrvveerriinniitt((ccoonnsstt ssaassllccaallllbbaacckktt *callbacks,,
                            ccoonnsstt cchhaarr *appname));;


DESCRIPTION
       ssaassllsseerrvveerriinniitt(()) initializes SASL. It must be called before any calls
       to saslserverstart, and only once per process.  This call initializes
       all  SASL mechanism drivers (e.g. authentication mechanisms). These are
       usually found in the /usr/lib/sasl2 directory but the directory may  be
       overriden with the SASLPATH enviornment variable (or at compile time).

       callbacks specifies the base callbacks for all client connections.  See
       the saslcallbacks man page for more information.

       appname  is  the  name of the application. It is used for where to find
       the default configuration file.



RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEE
       saslserverinit returns an integer which corresponds  to  one  of  the
       SASL  error  codes. SASLOK is the only one that indicates success. All
       others indicate errors and should either be handled or the  authentica-
       tion session should be quit.
