NAME

       neard - Near Field Communication daemon

SYNOPSIS

       neard [--version] | [--help]

       neard           [--debug=<file1>:<file2>:...]           [--plugin=<plugin1>,<plugin2>,...]
       [--noplugin=<plugin1>,<plugin2>,...] [--nodaemon]

DESCRIPTION

       neard is an NFC (Near Field Communication) daemon for managing NFC operations  on  devices
       running  the  Linux operating system. It relies on the Linux kernel NFC socket and generic
       netlink families, and is a fully modular system that can be extended through plug-ins.

       It supports all 4 NFC tag types reading and writing, along with NFC  LLCP  (peer  to  peer
       mode)  in  both target and initiator modes. The Simple NDEF Exchange Protocol (SNEP), NDEF
       Push Protocol (NPP) and handover  (Wi-Fi  and  Bluetooth)  protocols  are  implemented  as
       separate plugins on top of LLCP sockets.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       --version
              Print the neard software version and exit.

       --help Print neard's available options and exit.

       --debug=<file1>:<file2>:...
              Sets  how  much  information  neard  sends to the log destination (usually syslog's
              "daemon" facility).  If the file options are omitted,  then  debugging  information
              from all the source files are printed. If file options are present, then only debug
              prints     from     that     source      file      are      printed.       Example:
              --debug=src/service.c:plugins/wifi.c

       --plugin=<plugin1>,<plugin2>,...
              Load  these  plugins  only.  The  option  can  be  a pattern containing "*" and "?"
              characters.

       --noplugin=<plugin1>,<plugin2>,...
              Never load these plugins. The option can  be  a  pattern  containing  "*"  and  "?"
              characters.

       --nodaemon
              Do  not  daemonize.  This  is  useful  for debugging, and directs log output to the
              controlling terminal in addition to syslog.
