SASL_SETERROR(3SASL) Simple Authentication Security Layer Library Functions

NAME


sasl_seterror - set the error string

SYNOPSIS


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

void sasl_seterror(sasl_conn_t *conn, unsigned flags,
const char *fmt, ...);


DESCRIPTION


The sasl_seterror() interface sets the error string that will be
returned by sasl_errdetail(3SASL). Use syslog(3C) style formatting,
that is, use printf()--style with %m as the most recent errno error.


The sasl_seterror() interface is primarily used by server callback
functions and internal plug-ins, for example, with the
sasl_authorize_t callback. The sasl_seterror() interface triggers a
call to the SASL logging callback, if any, with a level of
SASL_LOG_FAIL, unless the SASL_NOLOG flag is set.


Make the message string sensitive to the current language setting. If
there is no SASL_CB_LANGUAGE callback, message strings must be i-
default. Otherwise, UTF-8 is used. Use of RFC 2482 for mixed-
language text is encouraged.


If the value of conn is NULL, the sasl_seterror() interface fails.

PARAMETERS


conn
The sasl_conn_t for which the call to sasl_seterror()
applies.


flags
If set to SASL_NOLOG, the call to sasl_seterror() is not
logged.


fmt
A syslog(3C) style format string.


RETURN VALUES


sasl_seterror() has no return values.
