NAME
     sasl_server_init - SASL server authentication initialization

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

     int sasl_server_init(const sasl_callback *callbacks, const char *appname);


DESCRIPTION
     Use the sasl_server_init() interface to initialize SASL. You
     must  call  sasl_server_init()  before  you  make  a call to
     sasl_server_start(). sasl_server_init() may be  called  only
     once  per  process. A call to sasl_server_init() initializes
     all SASL mechanism  drivers,  that  is,  the  authentication
     mechanisms.  The SASL mechanism drivers are usually found in
     the /usr/lib/sasl directory.

PARAMETERS
     callbacks    Specifies the base  callbacks  for  all  client
                  connections.


     appname      The name of the  application  for  lower  level
                  logging. For example, the sendmail server calls
                  appname this way:

                    sasl_server_init(srvcallbacks, "Sendmail")



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

ERRORS
     SASL_OK    The call to sasl_server_init() was successful.



     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.
