.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SASL_IR, long enable);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a long. If the value is 1, curl sends the initial response to the server
in the first authentication packet in order to reduce the number of ping pong
requests. Only applicable to the following supporting SASL authentication
mechanisms:

* Login
* Plain
* GSSAPI
* NTLM
* OAuth 2.0

Note: Whilst IMAP supports this option there is no need to explicitly set it,
as libcurl can determine the feature itself when the server supports the
SASL\-IR CAPABILITY.
