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 mes-
             sages 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 automati-
             cally pass the -v flag to ssh-pkcs11-helper when they have them-
             selves been placed in debug mode.


SEE ALSO
