NAME
       courieruserinfo	-  use	the  Courier authentication library to collect
       information about a user

SYNOPSIS
       courieruserinfo [--stderr] [-AudanmqohV] username

       courieruserinfo --stderr

       courieruserinfo -A, --all

       courieruserinfo -u, --uid

       courieruserinfo -d, --homedir

       courieruserinfo -a, --address

       courieruserinfo -n, --name

       courieruserinfo -m, --maildir

       courieruserinfo -q, --quota

       courieruserinfo -o, --options

       courieruserinfo -h, --help

       courieruserinfo -V, --version

DESCRIPTION
       courieruserinfo prints information about a user given a	username  that
       is  accessable  to the Courier authentication library. Usernames can be
       up to 64 characters long.

       Exactly what information is retrieved by courieruserinfo can be	speci‐
       fied  using various command line switches. Default behaviour is to dis‐
       play all available user information. Using any of the specific informa‐
       tion  switches  overrides this behaviour even if the -A switch is used.
       Any number of specific information switches can be combined.

       Each item to display is returned on  a  separate	 line  in  the	format
       <item>=<value>.	If  an item cannot be found for a user, the associated
       value field is blank.  courieruserinfo cannot retrieve a	 user's	 pass‐
       word.

EXAMPLE COMMAND LINES
       This command will display only the user's home directory:
	    courieruserinfo -d <username>

       As will this command:
	    courieruserinfo -A -d <username>

       Whereas this will display all available user information:
	    courieruserinfo -A <username>

       And this will display the user's home and maildir directories:
	    courieruserinfo -d -m <username>

LOGGING
       Logging	is  done  to  syslog  by  default or to stderr if the --stderr
       switch is used.	courieruserinfo logs all  failures  to	retrieve  user
       information.

       courieruserinfo	does certain checks on command line arguments so it is
       important to put --stderr first in the argument list if	it  is	to  be
       used in order for these checks to be logged properly.
