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.
