+.SH NAME
+sasl_getconfpath_t \- The SASL callback to indicate location of the config files
+
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <sasl.h>
+

+.BI "int sasl_getconfpath_t(void " *context ", "
+.BI "		        char ** " path ")";
+
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+
+.B sasl_getconfpath_t
+is used if the application wishes to use a different location for the SASL cofiguration files. If this callback is not used SASL will either use the location in the enviornment variable SASL_CONF_PATH or /etc/sasl by default.

+
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+
+SASL callback functions should return SASL return codes. See sasl.h for a complete list. SASL_OK indicates success.
