NAME
sasl_checkpass - Check a plaintext password
SYNOPSIS
#include <sasl/sasl.h>
int sasl_checkpass(sasl_conn_t *conn,
const char *user,
unsigned userlen,
const char *pass,
unsigned passlen);
DESCRIPTION
sasl_checkpass() will check a plaintext password. This is needed for protocols that had a login method before SASL (for example the LOGIN
command in IMAP). The password is checked with the pwcheck_method See sasl_callbacks(3) for information on how this parameter is set.
RETURN VALUE
sasl_checkpass returns an integer which corresponds to one of the following codes. SASL_OK indicates that the authentication is complete.
All other return codes indicate errors and should either be handled or the authentication session should be quit. See sasl_errors(3) for
meanings of return codes.

sasl_checkpass - check a plaintext password
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lsasl [ library ... ]
#include <sasl/sasl.h>
int sasl_checkpass(sasl_conn_t *conn, const char *user, unsigned userlen,
const char *pass, unsigned passlen);
DESCRIPTION
The sasl_checkpass() interface checks a plaintext password. The sasl_checkpass() interface is used for protocols that had a login method
before SASL, for example, the LOGIN command in IMAP. The password is checked with the pwcheck_method.
The sasl_checkpass() interface is a server interface. You cannot use it to check passwords from a client.
The sasl_checkpass() interface checks the posible repositories until it succeeds or there are no more repositories. If
sasl_server_userdb_checkpass_t is registered, sasl_checkpass() tries it first.
Use the pwcheck_method SASL option to specify which pwcheck methods to use.
The sasl_checkpass() interface supports the transition of passwords if the SASL option auto_transition is on.
If user is NULL, check is plaintext passwords are enabled.
PARAMETERS
conn The sasl_conn_t for which the request is being made
pass Plaintext password to check
passlen The length of pass
user User to query in current user_domain
userlen The length of username.
RETURN VALUES
sasl_checkpass() returns an integer that corresponds to a SASL error code.
ERRORS
SASL_OK Indicates that the authentication is complete
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.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.

Hi all...
Well guys and gals, I jumped in at the deep end and found things that PERL cannot do by default.

Well, guys I saw a question about GOTO for Python.
So this gave me the inspiration to attempt a GOTO function for 'dash', (bash and ksh too).
