27 sasl_getopt_t is used to retrieve an option, often mechanism
28 specific, from the application. An example of this is requesting
29 what KERBEROS_V4 srvtab file to use.

31 Parameters
32
33 · context – is the SASL connection context
34
35 · plugin_name – is the plugin this value is for.
36
37 · option – is a string representing the option. A common
38 option that all server applications should handle is
39 the method for checking plaintext passwords. See the
40 administrators guide for a full description of this
41 option.
42
43 Memory management of options supplied by the getopt callback
44 should be done by the application, however, any requested option
45 must remain available until the callback is no longer valid.
46 That is, when sasl_dispose(3) is called for a the connection it
47 is associated with, or sasl_done(3) is called for global call‐
48 backs.
49
51 SASL callback functions should return SASL return codes. See sasl.h
52 for a complete list. SASL_OK indicates success.
53
54 Other return codes indicate errors and should be handled.
