DESCRIPTION

16       This function connects to a card in a reader, resets the card and
17       retrieves the ATR (Answer To Reset). Based on the ATR, it tries to
18       auto-detect which card driver to use.
19
20       The slot parameter identifies the card reader´s slot. Slots are
21       numbered consecutively, starting at 0.
22
23       If OpenSC was able to connect to the card, a pointer to the sc_card_t
24       object is stored in the location pointer to by the card parameter. The
25       card handle should be released with sc_disconnect_card when no longer
26       in use.
