krb5-config¶
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 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
