## Details

### CamelNetworkSettings

    typedef struct _CamelNetworkSettings CamelNetworkSettings;

Returns the mechanism name used to authenticate to a network service. Often this refers to a SASL mechanism such as "LOGIN" or "GSSAPI".

`settings` : | a CamelNetworkSettings
Returns : | the authentication mechanism name

Since 3.4

### camel_network_settings_dup_auth_mechanism ()

    gchar *             camel_network_settings_dup_auth_mechanism

Thread-safe variation of `camel_network_settings_get_auth_mechanism()`. Use this function when accessing `settings` from a worker thread.

The returned string should be freed with `g_free()` when no longer needed.

`settings` : | a CamelNetworkSettings
