NAME
       sasl_checkapop - check an APOP challenge or response

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lsasl	 [ library ... ]
       #include <sasl/sasl.h>

       int sasl_checkapop(sasl_conn_t *conn, const char *challenge, unsigned challen, const char *response, unsigned resplen);

DESCRIPTION
       The  sasl_checkapop()  interface  checks  an  APOP  challenge or response. APOP is an option POP3 authentication command that uses a shared
       secret password. See RFC 1939.

       If sasl_checkapop() is called with a NULL challenge, sasl_checkapop() will check to see if the APOP mechanism is enabled.

PARAMETERS
       conn	       The sasl_conn_t for which the request is being made

       challenge       The challenge sent to the client

       challen	       The length of challenge

       response        The client response

       resplens        The length of response

RETURN VALUES
       sasl_checkapop() 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.
