ssh-pkcs11-helper – OpenSSH helper for PKCS#11 support

Synopsis

ssh-pkcs11-helper [-v ]

Description

ssh-pkcs11-helper is used by ssh-agent1 to access keys provided by a PKCS#11 token. ssh-pkcs11-helper is not intended to be invoked by the user, but from ssh-agent1. A single option is supported:

-v

Verbose mode. Causes ssh-pkcs11-helper to print debugging messages about its progress. This is helpful in debugging problems. Multiple –v options increase the verbosity. The maximum is 3. Note that ssh-agent1 will automatically pass the –v flag to ssh-pkcs11-helper when it has itself been placed in debug mode.
