# sasl\_verifyfile\_t(3)

Cyrus SASL documentation

## NAME

sasl\_verifyfile\_t - Cyrus SASL documentation

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include <sasl/sasl.h>
typedef enum {
    SASL_VRFY_PLUGIN, /* a DLL/shared library plugin */
    SASL_VRFY_CONF,   /* a configuration file */
    SASL_VRFY_PASSWD, /* a password storage file */
    SASL_VRFY_OTHER   /* some other file type */
} sasl_verify_type_t
int sasl_verifyfile_t(void *context,
                const char *file,
                sasl_verify_type_t type)
```

## DESCRIPTION

- **int sasl\_verifyfile\_t(void \*context,**

  - **const char \*file,**

  - **sasl\_verify\_type\_t type)**

  **sasl\_verifyfile\_t()** is used to check whether a given file is okay for use by the SASL library.   This  is  intended  to allow  applications  to  sanity  check  the environment. For example, to ensure that plugins or the config file cannot  be  written to.

  - **Parameters**

    - •

      **context** – context from the callback record

    - •

      **context** – context from the callback record

    - •

      **file** – full path of the file to verify

    - •

      **type** – type of the file.

## RETURN VALUE

SASL  callback  functions should return SASL return codes. See sasl.h for a complete list. *SASL\_OK* indicates success.

Other return codes indicate errors and should be handled.
