KRB5-CONFIG(1)                              MIT Kerberos                              KRB5-CONFIG(1)

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  li‐
              brary are:

EXAMPLES
       krb5-config is particularly useful for compiling against a Kerberos installation that was in‐
       stalled  in  a non-standard location.  For example, 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
