NAME
       sasl_getopt_t - The SASL get option callback

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sasl/sasl.h>

       int sasl_getopt_t(void *context,
		      const char *plugin_name,
		      const char *option,
		      const char ** result,
		      unsigned * len);

DESCRIPTION
       sasl_getopt_t  is  used	to  retrieve  an option, often mechanism specific, from the application. An example of this is requested what KER-
       BEROS_V4 srvtab file to use.  plugin_name is the plugin this value if for.  option is a string representing the	option.  A  common  option
       that  all server applications should handle is method for checking plaintext passwords. See the administrators guide for a full description
       of this option.

       Memory management of options supplied by the getopt callback should be done by the application, however, any requested option  must  remain
       available  until  the  callback	is  no	longer valid.  That is, when sasl_dispose is called for a the connection it is associated with, or
       sasl_done is called for global callbacks.

RETURN VALUE
       SASL callback functions should return SASL return codes. See sasl.h for a complete list. SASL_OK indicates success.
