NAME

opensc-tool − generic smart card utility

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The opensc−tool utility can be used from the command line to perform miscellaneous smart card operations such as getting the card ATR or sending arbitrary APDU commands to a card.

OPTIONS

−−version

Print the OpenSC package release version.

−−atr, −a

Print the Answer To Reset (ATR) of the card. Output is in hex byte format

−−card−driver driver, −c driver

Use the given card driver. The default is to auto−detect the correct card driver. The literal value ? lists all available card drivers.

−−list−algorithms,

Lists algorithms supported by card

−−info, −i

Print information about OpenSC, such as version and enabled components.

−−list−drivers, −D

List all installed card drivers.

−−list−files, −f

Recursively list all files stored on card.

−−list−readers, −l

List all configured readers.

−−name, −n

Print the name of the inserted card (driver).

−−get−conf−entry conf, −G conf

Get configuration key, format: section:name:key

−−set−conf−entry conf, −S conf

Set configuration key, format: section:name:key:value

−−reader arg, −r arg

Number of the reader to use. By default, the first reader with a present card is used. If arg is an ATR, the reader with a matching card will be chosen.

−−reset [type],

Resets the card in reader. The default reset type is cold, but warm reset is also possible.

−−send−apdu apdu, −s apdu

Sends an arbitrary APDU to the card in the format AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF… Use this option multiple times to send more than one APDU.

The built−in card drivers may send additional APDUs for detection and initialization. To avoid this behavior, you may additionally specify −−card−driver default.

−−serial

Print the card serial number (normally the ICCSN). Output is in hex byte format

−−verbose, −v

Causes opensc−tool to be more verbose. Specify this flag several times to enable debug output in the opensc library.

−−wait, −w

Wait for a card to be inserted.
