NAME
       libsasl - simple authentication and security layer library

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

DESCRIPTION
       SASL is a security framework used by connection-oriented network appli‐
       cations primarily for authentication.  Another way to describe SASL  is
       that it is a glue layer between a network application and some security
       mechanisms that allow applications to authenticate each other and  pro‐
       vide  additional	 security services such as data encryption.  As a glue
       layer, SASL hides the interface specifics  of  the  security  mechanism
       from  the application, which allows greater portability and flexibility
       as new security mechanisms are implemented.  SASL  is  similar  to  the
       GSS-API	in that it provides a layer of abstraction between an applica‐
       tion and one or more security mechanisms.

       libsasl provides both an API for applications and an  SPI  for  various
       plug-ins.  To  link with this library, specify -lsasl on the cc command
       line.

INTERFACES
       The shared object libsasl.so.1 and associated include files provide the
       public interfaces defined below. The *_t interfaces are function proto‐
       types for callbacks that are defined in the public SASL	header	files.
       While libsasl provides default versions for some of the callbacks, this
       structure allows an application to define its own version of  the  some
       of the callback functions.

       See Intro(3) for additional information on shared object interfaces.
