.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
SASL auxiliary properties are used to obtain properties
from external sources during the authentication process.
For example, a mechanism might need to query an LDAP
server to obtain the authentication secret. The application probably needs other information from there as well,
such as home directory or UID. The auxiliary property
interface allows the two to cooperate, and only results in
a single query against the LDAP server (or other property
sources).
.sp
Property lookups take place directly after user canonicalization occurs. Therefore, all requests should be
registered with the context before that time. Note that
requests can also be registered using the
sasl_auxprop_request(3) function. Most of the functions listed
below, however, require a property context which can be
obtained by calling sasl_auxprop_getctx(3)\&.
.SH API DESCRIPTION
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B struct \fI\%propctx\fP *prop_new(unsigned\fI\ estimate\fP)
Create a new property context. Probably unnecessary for application developers
to call this at any point.
.INDENT 7.0
.TP
.B Parameters
.INDENT 7.0
.IP \(bu 2
\fBestimate\fP – is the estimate of storage needed in total for requests & responses. A value of 0 implies the library default.
.UNINDENT
.TP
.B Returns
a new property context: \fI\%propctx\fP
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B int prop_dup(struct \fI\%propctx\fP\fI\ *src_ctx\fP, struct \fI\%propctx\fP\fI\ *dst_ctx\fP)
Duplicate a given property context.
.INDENT 7.0
.TP
.B Parameters
.INDENT 7.0
.IP \(bu 2
\fBsrc_ctx\fP (\fI\%propctx\fP) – Property context to copy.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBdst_ctx\fP (\fI\%propctx\fP) – Destination context to copy into.
.UNINDENT

SASL error code.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B int prop_request(struct \fI\%propctx\fP\fI\ *ctx\fP, const char\fI\ **names\fP)
Add properties to the request list of a given context.
.INDENT 7.0
.TP
.B Parameters
.INDENT 7.0
.IP \(bu 2
\fBctx\fP (\fI\%propctx\fP) – The property context to add add the request list to.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBnames\fP – is the NULL\-terminated array of property names, and must persist until the requests are cleared or the context is disposed of with a call to \fI\%prop_dispose()\fP\&.
.UNINDENT
.TP
.B Returns
SASL error code
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B const struct \fI\%propval\fP *prop_get(struct \fI\%propctx\fP\fI\ *ctx\fP)
Fetch out the property values from a context.
.INDENT 7.0

.B Parameters
.INDENT 7.0
.IP \(bu 2

.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B int prop_getnames(struct \fI\%propctx\fP\fI\ *ctx\fP, const char\fI\ **names\fP, struct \fI\%propval\fP\fI\ *vals\fP)
Fill in a (provided) array of property values based
on a list of property names. This implies that
the \fBvals\fP array is at least as long as the \fBnames\fP
array. The values that are filled in by this call
persist until next call to \fI\%prop_request()\fP,
\fI\%prop_clear()\fP, or \fI\%prop_dispose()\fP on context. If a name
specified here was never requested, then its associated
values entry will be set to NULL.
