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