sasl_errstring

NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

#include <sasl/sasl.h>

 I const char * sasl_errstring(int  saslerr , 
I 			        const char *  langlist , 
I 			        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.
