====================================================================================
**sasl_getpath_t** - The SASL callback to indicate location of the mechanism drivers
====================================================================================

Synopsis
========

.. code-block:: C

    #include <sasl/sasl.h>

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

Description
===========

.. c:function:: int sasl_getpath_t(void *context, char ** path);

    **sasl_getpath_t()** is used if the application wishes to use  a
    different  location  for  the  SASL mechanism drivers (the
    shared library files). If this callback is not used SASL
    will either use the location in the environment variable
    SASL_PATH or `/usr/lib/sasl2` by default.


Return Value
============

SASL  callback  functions should return SASL return codes.
See sasl.h for a complete list. :c:macro:`SASL_OK` indicates success.

Other return codes indicate errors and should be handled.
