NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       ssh-pkcs11-helper [-v]

DESCRIPTION

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

       ssh-pkcs11-helper is not intended to be invoked directly by the user.

       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(1), ssh-agent(1),  and  ssh-keygen(1)  will  automatically  pass  the  -v  flag  to
               ssh-pkcs11-helper when they have themselves been placed in debug mode.

SEE ALSO
