#### The util Directory

This directory contains several utility programs and libraries. The programs used to configure and build the code, such as `autoconf`, `lndir`, `kbuild`, `reconf`, and `makedepend`, are in this directory. The profile directory contains most of the functions which parse the Kerberos configuration files (`krb5.conf` and `kdc.conf`). Also in this directory are the Kerberos error table library and utilities (et), the Sub-system library and utilities (ss), database utilities (db2), pseudo-terminal utilities (pty), bug-reporting program `send-pr`, and a generic support library `support` used by several of our other libraries.
