DESCRIPTION

     gnupg-pkcs11-scd-proxy is a drop-in replacement for the smart-card daemon (scd) shipped with
     the next-generation GnuPG (gnupg-2). The daemon is a proxy into
     gnupg-pkcs11-scd-proxy-server which can be run within different security context to load the
     gnupg-pkcs11-scd smart-card daemon.

     The communications between the proxy and the server is unix socket based.  The assuan socket
     is created as world readable but with a specific user ACL, so that only initiating user can
     connect to the daemon.

     The recommended version of gnupg is 2.1 since in this version the gnupg-pkcs11-scd
     configuration does not specify any specific key information and can be used as generic for
     all users.

     The following options are available:

     --multi-server
         Run in multi-server mode (foreground). In addition to communicating over stdin/stdout,
         the server also opens an additional listening UNIX socket.

     --socket file
         Socket name, default should be sufficient.

     --socket-group group
         A custom group to set for the proxy server socket, this may serve first level of access
         control.

     --scd file
         The smartcard daemon location, default should be sufficient.

     --scd-config file
         The smartcard daemon configuration, required parameter.

     --verbose
         Be verbose while running.

     --no-detach
         Do not detach from console (useful for debugging purposes).

     --log-file file
         Output log to file.

     --help
         Print help information.

     When the daemon receives any of the SIGHUP, SIGTERM and SIGINT signals, it cleans up and
     exits.
