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 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 automatically pass the -v
             flag to ssh-pkcs11-helper when they have themselves been placed in debug mode.

SEE ALSO

     ssh(1), ssh-agent(1), ssh-keygen(1)
