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.

RETURN VALUE

29       Returns 0 if successful, or a negative value in case of error.
