12 nfc-poll is a utility for polling any available target (tags but also
13 NFCIP targets) using ISO14443-A, FeliCa, Jewel and ISO14443-B modula‐
14 tions.
15 This tool uses hardware polling feature if available (ie. PN532) or
17 switch back to software polling, it will display available information
18 retrieved from the tag.

22 -v Tells nfc-poll to be verbose and display detailed information
23 about the targets shown. This includes SAK decoding and finger‐
24 printing is available.

28 There are some well-know limits with this example:
29 - Even with NDO_AUTO_14443_4A enabled (default), nfc-poll can miss
30 ATS. That due to the way the PN532 use to poll for ISO14443 type A, it
31 will attempt to find ISO14443-4-only targets, then ISO14443-3. If your
32 ISO14443-4 target is present when PN532 looks for ISO14443-4-only, ATS
33 will be retrieved. But if your target enter the field during
34 ISO14443-3, RATS will not be sent and ATS not retrieved.
35 - nfc-poll can show up only one card while two are in field. That's
36 due, again, to the way the PN532 poll for targets. It will stop polling
37 when one modulation got a result, so if you have, for example, one
38 ISO14443-3 (eg. Mifare Ultralight) and one ISO14443-4 (eg. Mifare DES‐
39 Fire), it will probably return only the ISO14443-4.
