NAME

       krb5-config - tool for linking against MIT Kerberos libraries

SYNOPSIS

       krb5-config  [--help  |	--all  |  --version  | --vendor | --prefix | --exec-prefix | --defccname | --defktname | --defcktname | --cflags |
       --libs [libraries]]

DESCRIPTION

       krb5-config tells the application programmer what flags to use to compile and link programs against the installed Kerberos libraries.

OPTIONS

       --help prints a usage message.  This is the default behavior when no options are specified.

       --all  prints the version, vendor, prefix, and exec-prefix.

       --version
	      prints the version number of the Kerberos installation.

       --vendor
	      prints the name of the vendor of the Kerberos installation.

       --prefix
	      prints the prefix for which the Kerberos installation was built.

       --exec-prefix
	      prints the prefix for executables for which the Kerberos installation was built.

       --defccname
	      prints the built-in default credentials cache location.

       --defktname
	      prints the built-in default keytab location.

       --defcktname
	      prints the built-in default client (initiator) keytab location.

       --cflags
	      prints the compilation flags used to build the Kerberos installation.

       --libs [library]
	      prints the compiler options needed to link against library.  Allowed values for library are:

						 +------------+------------------------------------------------+
						 |krb5	      | Kerberos 5 applications (default)	       |
						 +------------+------------------------------------------------+
						 |gssapi      | GSSAPI applications with Kerberos 5 bindings   |
						 +------------+------------------------------------------------+
						 |kadm-client | Kadmin client				       |
						 +------------+------------------------------------------------+
						 |kadm-server | Kadmin server				       |
						 +------------+------------------------------------------------+
						 |kdb	      | Applications that access the Kerberos database |
						 +------------+------------------------------------------------+

EXAMPLES

       krb5-config is particularly useful for compiling against a Kerberos installation that was installed in a non-standard location.	For  exam-
       ple,  a Kerberos installation that is installed in /opt/krb5/ but uses libraries in /usr/local/lib/ for text localization would produce the
       following output:

	      shell% krb5-config --libs krb5
	      -L/opt/krb5/lib -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/opt/krb5/lib -L/usr/local/lib -lkrb5 -lk5crypto -lcom_err
