Mailutils ldflags

The mailutils ldflags command is a counterpart of cflags used for linking. It constructs a ld(1) command line for linking a program with Mailutils.

When used without arguments, it outputs ld arguments which would link only with the core Mailutils library libmailutils:

 $ mailutils ldflags
 -L/usr/local/lib -lmailutils 

This command accepts a number of keywords which allow to select a particular subset of Mailutils libraries to link with. In particular, the argument all instructs it to link in all available libraries:

 $ mailutils ldflags all
 -L/usr/local/lib -lmu_mbox -lmu_mh -lmu_maildir -lmu_imap -lmu_pop \
 -lmu_mailer -lmu_compat -lmailutils -lmu_auth -lgsasl -lgnutls -lgcrypt \
