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.
