NAME 🖥️ opensc-tool 🖥️

tool - generic smart card utility

SYNOPSIS

opensc-tool [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

The opensc-tool utility can be used from the command line to perform miscellaneous smart card operations such as getting the card ATR or sending arbitrary APDU commands to a card.

OPTIONS

–version

Print the OpenSC package release version.

–atr, -a

Print the Answer To Reset (ATR) of the card. Output is in hex byte format

–card-driver driver, -c driver

Use the given card driver. The default is to auto-detect the correct card driver. The literal value ? lists all available card drivers.

–list-algorithms,

Lists algorithms supported by card

–info, -i

Print information about OpenSC, such as version and enabled components.

–list-drivers, -D

List all installed card drivers.

–list-files, -f

Recursively list all files stored on card.

–list-readers, -l

List all configured readers.

–name, -n

Print the name of the inserted card (driver).

–get-conf-entry conf, -G conf

Get configuration key, format: section:name:key

–set-conf-entry conf, -S conf

Set configuration key, format: section:name:key:value

–reader arg, -r arg

Number of the reader to use. By default, the first reader with a present card is used. If arg is an ATR, the reader with a matching card will be chosen.

–reset [type],

Resets the card in reader. The default reset type is cold, but warm reset is also possible.

–send-apdu apdu, -s apdu

Sends an arbitrary APDU to the card in the format AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF…. Use this option multiple times to send more than one APDU.

The built-in card drivers may send additional APDUs for detection and initialization. To avoid this behavior, you may additionally specify –card-driver default.

–serial

Print the card serial number (normally the ICCSN). Output is in hex byte format

–verbose, -v

Causes opensc-tool to be more verbose. Specify this flag several times to enable debug output in the opensc library.

–wait, -w

Wait for a card to be inserted.
