SSH-SK-HELPER(8) System Manager's Manual SSH-SK-HELPER(8)
NAME
ssh-sk-helper — OpenSSH helper for FIDO authenticator support
SYNOPSIS
ssh-sk-helper [-v]
DESCRIPTION
ssh-sk-helper is used by ssh(1), ssh-agent(1), and ssh-keygen(1) to ac-
cess keys provided by a FIDO authenticator.
ssh-sk-helper is not intended to be invoked directly by the user.
A single option is supported:
-v Verbose mode. Causes ssh-sk-helper to print debugging messages
about its progress. This is helpful in debugging problems.
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-sk-helper when they have them-
selves been placed in debug mode.
SEE ALSO
ssh(1), ssh-agent(1), ssh-keygen(1)
HISTORY
ssh-sk-helper first appeared in OpenBSD 6.7.
