AUTH_GETOPTION(3)NAMEauth_getoption - Search an option stringSYNOPSIS#include <courierauth.h> char *value=auth_getoption(const char *options, const char *keyword);DESCRIPTIONThis is a convenience function for parsing account options, as received by the callback function invoked by auth_generic(3)[1], auth_login(3)[2], auth_getuserinfo(3)[3], and auth_passwd(3)[4]. options is the options field from authinfo (which can be NULL). As described in auth_generic(3)[1] (and the others), it is a comma-separated list of "keyword=value" pairs. auth_getoption searches options for a keyword.RETURNSIf options does not have the keyword, auth_getoption returns NULL with errno set to ENOENT. Otherwise auth_getoption allocates a buffer for value, and returns it. It is the caller's responsibility to free(3) the returned buffer. auth_getoption returns NULL with errno set to ENOMEM if it cannot allocate a buffer.SEE ALSOauthlib(3)[5], auth_generic(3)[1], auth_login(3)[2], auth_getuserinfo(3)[3].NOTES1. auth_generic(3) auth_generic.html 2. auth_login(3) auth_login.html 3. auth_getuserinfo(3) auth_getuserinfo.html 4. auth_passwd(3) auth_passwd.html 5. authlib(3) authlib.html Double Precision, Inc. 08/23/2008 AUTH_GETOPTION(3)
