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 com-
pile 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 instal-
lation 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 instal-
lation.
--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
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(7) for descriptions of the following attributes:
+---------------+--------------------------+
|ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE |
+---------------+--------------------------+
|Availability | security/kerberos-5 |
+---------------+--------------------------+
|Stability | Pass-through uncommitted |
+---------------+--------------------------+
