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



SYNOPSIS
       #include 


       const char * sasl_errstring(int saslerr,
                              const char * langlist,
                              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 out-
       put.  NULL defaults to "en-us," currently  the  only  sup-
       ported language.

       It  should  be  noted that this function is not the recom-
       mended 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.


CONFORMING TO
       RFC 2222
