NAME
     sasl_client_init - initialize SASL client authentication

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

     int sasl_client_init(const sasl_callback_t *callbacks);


DESCRIPTION
     Use the sasl_client_init() interface to initialize SASL. The
     sasl_client_init() interface must be called before any calls
     to sasl_client_start(3SASL). The call to  sasl_client_init()
     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
     sasl_client_init() returns an integer that corresponds to  a
     SASL error code.

ERRORS
     SASL_OK          The call to sasl_client_init() was success-
                      ful.


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


     SASL_BADPARAM    There is  an  error  in  the  configuration
                      file.


     SASL_NOMEM       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 sasl_errors(3SASL) for information on SASL error codes.
