NAME

4     ssh-pkcs11-helper — OpenSSH helper for PKCS#11 support
5

SYNOPSIS

7     ssh-pkcs11-helper [-v]
8

DESCRIPTION

10     ssh-pkcs11-helper is used by ssh(1), ssh-agent(1), and ssh-keygen(1) to
11     access keys provided by a PKCS#11 token.
12
13     ssh-pkcs11-helper is not intended to be invoked directly by the user.
14
15     A single option is supported:
16
17     -v      Verbose mode.  Causes ssh-pkcs11-helper to print debugging mes‐
18             sages about its progress.  This is helpful in debugging problems.
19             Multiple -v options increase the verbosity.  The maximum is 3.
20
21             Note that ssh(1), ssh-agent(1), and ssh-keygen(1) will automati‐
22             cally pass the -v flag to ssh-pkcs11-helper when they have them‐
23             selves been placed in debug mode.
