  32 DESCRIPTION
  33 -----------
  34
  35 `libmemcached` allows you to plug in your own callbacks function used by
  36 libsasl to perform SASL authentication.
  37
  38 Please note that SASL requires the memcached binary protocol, and you have
  39 to specify the callbacks before you connect to the server.
  40
  41 :func:`memcached_set_sasl_auth_data` is a helper function defining
  42 the basic functionality for you, but it will store the username and password
  43 in memory. If you choose to use this method you have to call
  44 `memcached_destroy_sasl_auth_data` before calling `memcached_free` to avoid a
  45 memory leak. You should NOT call `memcached_destroy_sasl_auth_data` if you
  46 specify your own callback function with `memcached_set_sasl_callbacks`.
  47
  48 RETURN VALUE
  49 ------------
  50
  51 :func:`memcached_get_sasl_callbacks` returns the callbacks currently used by
  52 this memcached handle. :func:`memcached_set_sasl_auth_data` returns
  53 `MEMCACHED_SUCCESS` upon success.
