Courier Authentication Library

## NAME

authlib - Courier Authentication Library

## SYNOPSIS

**courierauthconfig** \[\[--ldflags\] \| \[--cppflags\]\]

## DESCRIPTION

The Courier authentication library consists of two libraries:

  Authentication functions.

- \-lcourierauthsasl

  SASL authentication functions.

**courierauthconfig --cppflags** produces on standard output any necessary compiler flags that are needed to access the courierauth.h and the courierauthsasl.h header files. **courierauthconfig --ldflags** produces on standard output any necessary compiler flags that are needed to link against the courierauth or courierauthsasl libraries.
