SSH-PKCS11-HELPER(8)                   System Manager's Manual                  SSH-PKCS11-HELPER(8)

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
       ssh(1), ssh-agent(1), ssh-keygen(1)
