sasl_errstring – Translate a SASL return code to a human-readable form

Synopsis

#include <sasl/sasl.h>

const char *sasl_errstring(int saslerr,
                           const char *langlist,
                           const char **outlang);

Description

sasl_usererr is called to convert a SASL return code (an integer) into a human readable string. At this time the only language available is american english written by programmers (aka gobbledygook). Note that a server should call sasl_usererr on a return code first if the string is going to be sent to the client. saslerr specifies the error number to convert. langlist is currently unused; Use NULL. outlang specifies the desired RFC 1766 language for output. NULL defaults to "en-us," currently the only supported language. It should be noted that this function is not the recommended means of extracting error code information from SASL, instead application should use sasl_errdetail(3), which contains this information (and more)

Return Value

Returns the string. If langlist is NULL, US-ASCII is used.

Conforming To
