NAME
ssh-pkcs11-helper — OpenSSH helper for PKCS#11 support
SYNOPSIS
ssh-pkcs11-helper [-v]
DESCRIPTION
ssh-pkcs11-helper is used by ssh(1), ssh-agent(1), and ssh-keygen(1) to
access keys provided by a PKCS#11 token.
ssh-pkcs11-helper is not intended to be invoked directly by the user.
A single option is supported:
-v Verbose mode. Causes ssh-pkcs11-helper to print debugging mes-
sages about its progress. This is helpful in debugging prob-
lems. Multiple -v options increase the verbosity. The maximum
is 3.
Note that ssh(1), ssh-agent(1), and ssh-keygen(1) will automati-
cally pass the -v flag to ssh-pkcs11-helper when they have them-
selves been placed in debug mode.
SEE ALSO
ssh(1), ssh-agent(1), ssh-keygen(1)
HISTORY
ssh-pkcs11-helper first appeared in OpenBSD 4.7.
