NAME
     sasl_checkapop - check an APOP challenge or response

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

     int sasl_checkapop(sasl_conn_t *conn, const char *challenge,
          unsigned challen, const char *response, unsigned resplen);


DESCRIPTION
     The sasl_checkapop() interface checks an APOP  challenge  or
     response. APOP is an option POP3 authentication command that
     uses a shared secret password. See RFC 1939.


     If  sasl_checkapop()  is  called  with  a  NULL   challenge,
     sasl_checkapop()  will check to see if the APOP mechanism is
     enabled.

PARAMETERS
     conn         The sasl_conn_t for which the request is  being
                  made


     challenge    The challenge sent to the client


     challen      The length of challenge


     response     The client response


     resplens     The length of response


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

ERRORS
     SASL_OK    Indicates that the authentication is complete



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