NAME

       towitoko-tester  —  Towitoko driver CT-API interface tester tool

SYNOPSIS

       towitoko-tester

DESCRIPTION

       towitoko-tester is a simple tool that allows executing some simple commands on a smartcard
       using a Towitoko smartcard reader.  It can be  used  to  test  that  a  smartcard  can  be
       properly recognized, and that it can be read and written.

       The  tool provides a text based menu interface. Commands that can be executed via the menu
       depends on the reader card insertion status and the type  of  card  inserted.  For  memory
       cards  it  permits  reading  and  writing  data  bytes, checking and changing the PIN. For
       processor cards it permits selecting, reading and updating binary card files.

       Several readers on different ports can be used at a time. The text  menu  allows  opening,
       closing  and  changing  current  port.  The smartcard can be inserted and removed from any
       initialized reader at any time.  The tool will  automatically  detect  when  the  card  is
       inserted  and removed, and will update the information shown in the menu. However you must
       refresh the menu to see any change reflected.

       If you have installed pcscd package, and have configured your reader to be used by  pscsd,
       you'll need to stop the pcsc daemon before initializing the reader with towitoko-tester.
