DESCRIPTION

15       neard is an NFC (Near Field  Communication)  daemon  for  managing  NFC
16       operations  on devices running the Linux operating system. It relies on
17       the Linux kernel NFC socket and generic  netlink  families,  and  is  a
18       fully modular system that can be extended through plug-ins.
19
20       It  supports  all  4  NFC tag types reading and writing, along with NFC
21       LLCP (peer to peer mode) in both target and initiator modes. The Simple
22       NDEF  Exchange  Protocol  (SNEP), NDEF Push Protocol (NPP) and handover
23       (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) protocols are implemented as separate plugins  on
24       top of LLCP sockets.

OPTIONS

27       The following options are supported:
28
29       --version
30              Print the neard software version and exit.
31
32       --help Print neard's available options and exit.
33
34       --debug=<file1>:<file2>:...
35              Sets  how  much  information  neard sends to the log destination
36              (usually syslog's "daemon" facility).  If the file  options  are
37              omitted,  then  debugging  information from all the source files
38              are printed. If file options are present, then only debug prints
39              from  that  source  file are printed.  Example: --debug=src/ser‐
40              vice.c:plugins/wifi.c
41
42       --plugin=<plugin1>,<plugin2>,...
43              Load these plugins only. The option can be a pattern  containing
44              "*" and "?" characters.
45
46       --noplugin=<plugin1>,<plugin2>,...
47              Never load these plugins. The option can be a pattern containing
48              "*" and "?" characters.
49
50       --nodaemon
51              Do not daemonize. This is useful for debugging, and directs  log
52              output to the controlling terminal in addition to syslog.
