sasl_seterror - set the error string

Synopsis

#include <sasl/sasl.h>

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

Description

void sasl_seterror(sasl_conn_t *conn,

unsigned flags,

const char *fmt,

...);

The sasl_seterror() interface sets the error string that will be returned by sasl_errdetail(3). Use syslog(3) 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 plugins, for example, with the sasl_authorize_t(3) 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(3) style format string.

Return Value

No return values.
