SASL_GETCONFPATH_T(3)

💖 SASL_GETCONFPATH_T 💖

okay bestie, so we're in the Cyrus SASL part of the 3 manual, and this little cutie is called sasl_getconfpath_t 🦋 no cap, it's giving "let me pick where my config files live" energy.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <sasl/sasl.h>

int sasl_getconfpath_t(void *context, char ** path);

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

int sasl_getconfpath_t(void *context, char **path);

so literally, sasl_getconfpath_t() is the callback you reach for when your app is like "mmm I want my SASL configuration files to live somewhere else, actually" 🎀

and if you don't use this callback? no stress, SASL has a whole backup plan, she's got options:

• she'll use the location in the environment variable SASL_CONF_PATH — but only provided we are not SUID or SGID 👑 (important!! don't skip that part)
• otherwise she just defaults to /etc/sasl2 💅

lowkey iconic that she just figures it out for you, but also you can take the wheel if you want. main character choice fr fr.

---

💀 RETURN VALUE 💀

okay so SASL callback functions should return SASL return codes — peep sasl.h for the complete list, she has them all 📜

• SASL_OK means success ✨ periodt.
• any other return code means an error, and bestie, you gotta handle it. don't just ignore her 😭
