NAME

4     ssh-sk-helper — OpenSSH helper for FIDO authenticator support
5

SYNOPSIS

7     ssh-sk-helper [-v]
8

DESCRIPTION

10     ssh-sk-helper is used by ssh(1), ssh-agent(1), and ssh-keygen(1) to ac‐
11     cess keys provided by a FIDO authenticator.
12
13     ssh-sk-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-sk-helper to print debugging messages
18             about its progress.  This is helpful in debugging problems.  Mul‐
19             tiple -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-sk-helper when they have themselves
23             been placed in debug mode.
