NAME
     courieruserinfo  - use the Courier authentication library to collect infor-
     mation 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

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 specified
     using various command line switches. Default behaviour is	to  display  all
     available	user information. Using any of the specific information switches
     overrides this behaviour even if the -A switch is used. Any number of  spe-
     cific 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 password.

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  im-
     portant  to  put --stderr first in the argument list if it is to be used in
     order for these checks to be logged properly.
