sasl_client_init - initialize SASL client authentication
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lsasl [ library ... ] #include <sasl/sasl.h> int sasl_client_init(const sasl_callback_t *callbacks);
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, authentication mechanisms. SASL client drivers are usually found in the /usr/lib/sasl directory.
callbacks
sasl_client_init() returns an integer that corresponds to a SASL error code.

SASL_BADVERS
SASL_BADPARAM
SASL_NOMEM
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.
