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

       ssh(1), ssh-add(1), ssh-agent(1)

       ssh-pkcs11-helper first appeared in OpenBSD 4.7.
