NAME

     ssh-pkcs11-helper — OpenSSH helper for PKCS#11 support

SYNOPSIS

     ssh-pkcs11-helper [-v]

DESCRIPTION

     ssh-pkcs11-helper is used by ssh-agent(1) to access keys provided by a PKCS#11 token.

     ssh-pkcs11-helper is not intended to be invoked by the user, but from ssh-agent(1).

     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-agent(1) will automatically pass the -v flag to ssh-pkcs11-helper when
             it has itself been placed in debug mode.

SEE ALSO
