<p>Developers or packagers of PKCS#11 modules need to install various
files into specific locations so that p11-kit will recognize and load the
module correctly.</p>
<p>You should use <code class="literal">pkg-config</code> as described below
to determine configuration paths. p11-kit installs a
<code class="literal">pkg-config</code> file called <code class="literal">p11-kit-1.pc</code>.
This file contains all the information about the various paths that p11-kit
looks for files at.</p>

<p>As described in the <a class="link" href="pkcs11-conf.html#config-module" title="Module Configuration">module configuration</a>
documentation, each PKCS#11 module should install a config file describing
that module. These config files should be installed to a specific directory which
can be determined by running:</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
$ <span class="command"><strong>pkg-config p11-kit-1 --variable p11_module_configs</strong></span>
/usr/share/p11-kit/modules</pre>
</div>
<div class="section">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="devel-paths-modules"></a>Default path for modules with relative paths</h3></div></div></div>
<p>If a <a class="link" href="pkcs11-conf.html#config-module" title="Module Configuration">module configuration</a>
contains a relative path in its <code class="literal">module:</code> setting,
then that module will be loaded from the default module path. This
path can be determined by running:</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
$ <span class="command"><strong>pkg-config p11-kit-1 --variable p11_module_path</strong></span>
/usr/lib64/pkcs11</pre>
