# NAME

`krb5-config` —
give information on how to link code against Heimdal libraries

# SYNOPSIS

`krb5-config` | [`-``-prefix`[=dir]] [`-``-exec-prefix`[=dir]] [`-``-libs`] [`-``-cflags`] [libraries]

# DESCRIPTION

`krb5-config` tells the application programmer what special flags to use to compile and link programs against the libraries installed by Heimdal.

Options supported:

`-``-prefix`[=dir]
  Print the prefix if no dir is specified, otherwise set prefix to dir.
`-``-exec-prefix`[=dir]
  Print the exec-prefix if no dir is specified, otherwise set exec-prefix to dir.
`-``-libs`
  Output the set of libraries that should be linked against. This also includes rpath flags with the expectation that the C compiler is used for final link-edits.
`-``-cflags`
  Output the set of flags to give to the C compiler when using the Heimdal libraries.

By default `krb5-config` will output the set of flags and libraries to be used by a normal program using the krb5 API. The user can also supply a library to be used, the supported ones are:

krb5
  (the default)
gssapi
  use the krb5 gssapi mechanism
kadm-client
  use the client-side kadmin libraries
kadm-server
  use the server-side kadmin libraries
