NAME

       gsasl_simple_getpass - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gsasl.h>

       int gsasl_simple_getpass(const char * filename, const char * username, char ** key);

ARGUMENTS

       const char * filename
		   filename of file containing passwords.

       const char * username
		   username string.

       char ** key newly allocated output character array.

DESCRIPTION

       Retrieve password for user from specified file.	The buffer key contain the password if this function is successful.  The caller is respon-

       and LF denote ASCII values 9, 13, and 10, respectively.

RETURN VALUE

       Return GSASL_OK if output buffer contains the password, GSASL_AUTHENTICATION_ERROR if the user could not be found, or other error code.
