3NAME
4     ssh-pkcs11-helper M-bM-^@M-^S OpenSSH helper for PKCS#11 support
5
6SYNOPSIS
7     ssh-pkcs11-helper [-v]
8
9DESCRIPTION
10     ssh-pkcs11-helper is used by ssh(1), ssh-agent(1), and ssh-keygen(1) to
11     access keys provided by a PKCS#11 token.
12
13     ssh-pkcs11-helper is not intended to be invoked directly by the user.
14
15     A single option is supported:
16
17     -v      Verbose mode.  Causes ssh-pkcs11-helper to print debugging
18             messages about its progress.  This is helpful in debugging
19             problems.  Multiple -v options increase the verbosity.  The
20             maximum is 3.
21
22             Note that ssh(1), ssh-agent(1), and ssh-keygen(1) will
23             automatically pass the -v flag to ssh-pkcs11-helper when they
24             have themselves been placed in debug mode.
