.SH NAME
pkcs11-tool \- utility for managing and using PKCS #11 security tokens
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fBpkcs11\-tool\fR [OPTIONS]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The \fBpkcs11\-tool\fR utility is used to manage the data objects on smart cards and similar PKCS #11 security tokens\&. Users can list and read PINs, keys and certificates stored on the token\&. User PIN authentication is performed for those operations that require it\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
.TP
\fB\-\-login, \-l\fR
Authenticate to the token before performing other operations\&. This option is not needed if a PIN is provided on the command line\&.
.TP
\fB\-\-pin\fR \fIpin\fR, \fB\-p\fR \fIpin\fR
Use the given \fIpin\fR for token operations\&. WARNING: Be careful using this option as other users may be able to read the command line from the system or if it is embedded in a script\&.
.TP
\fB\-\-so\-pin\fR \fIpin\fR
Use the given \fIpin\fR as the Security Officer PIN for some token operations (token initialization, user PIN initialization, etc)\&. The same warning as \-\-pin also applies here\&.
.TP
\fB\-\-init\-token\fR
Initializes a token: set the token label as well as a Security Officer PIN (the label must be specified using \-\-label)\&.
.TP
\fB\-\-init\-pin\fR
Initializes the user PIN\&. This option differs from \-\-change\-pin in that it sets the user PIN for the first time\&. Once set, the user PIN can be changed using \-\-change\-pin\&.
.TP
\fB\-\-change\-pin, \-c\fR
Change the user PIN on the token
.TP
\fB\-\-test, \-t\fR
Performs some tests on the token\&. This option is most useful when used with either \-\-login or \-\-pin\&.
.TP
\fB\-\-show\-info, \-I\fR
Displays general token information\&.
.TP
\fB\-\-list\-slots, \-L\fR
Displays a list of available slots on the token\&.
.TP
\fB\-\-list\-mechanisms, \-M\fR
Displays a list of mechanisms supported by the token\&.
.TP
\fB\-\-list\-objects, \-O\fR
Displays a list of objects\&.
.TP
\fB\-\-sign, s\fR
Sign some data\&.
.TP
\fB\-\-hash, \-h\fR
Hash some data\&.
.TP
\fB\-\-mechanism\fR \fImechanism\fR, \fB\-m\fR \fImechanism\fR
Use the specified \fImechanism\fR for token operations\&. See \-M for a list of mechanisms supported by your token\&.
.TP
\fB\-\-keypairgen, \-k\fR
Generate a new key pair (public and private pair\&.)
.TP
\fB\-\-write\-object\fR \fIid\fR, \fB\-w\fR \fIid\fR
Write a key or certificate object to the token\&.
.TP
\fB\-\-type\fR \fItype\fR, \fB\-y\fR \fItype\fR
Specify the type of object to operate on\&. Examples are \fIcert\fR, \fIprivkey\fR and \fIpubkey\fR\&.
.TP
\fB\-\-id\fR \fIid\fR, \fB\-d\fR \fIid\fR
Specify the id of the object to operate on\&.
.TP
\fB\-\-label\fR \fIname\fR, \fB\-a\fR \fIname\fR
Specify the name of the object to operate on (or the token label when \-\-init\-token is used)\&.
.TP
\fB\-\-slot\fR \fIid\fR
Specify the id of the slot to use\&.
.TP
\fB\-\-slot\-id\fR \fIname\fR
Specify the name of the slot to use\&.
.TP
\fB\-\-set\-id\fR \fIid\fR, \fB\-e\fR \fIid\fR
Set the CKA_ID of the object\&.
.TP
\fB\-\-attr\-from\fR \fIpath\fR
Extract information from \fIpath\fR (DER\-encoded certificate file) and create the corresponding attributes when writing an object to the token\&. Example: the certificate subject name is used to create the CKA_SUBJECT attribute\&.
.TP
\fB\-\-input\-file\fR \fIpath\fR, \fB\-i\fR \fIpath\fR
Specify the path to a file for input\&.
.TP
\fB\-\-output\-file\fR \fIpath\fR, \fB\-o\fR \fIpath\fR
Specify the path to a file for output\&.
.TP
\fB\-\-module\fR \fImod\fR
Specify a module to load\&.
.TP
\fB\-\-moz\-cert\fR \fIpath\fR, \fB\-z\fR \fIpath\fR
Tests a Mozilla\-like keypair generation and certificate request\&. Specify the \fIpath\fR to the certificate file\&.
.TP
\fB\-\-verbose, \-v\fR
Causes \fBpkcs11\-tool\fR to be more verbose\&. Specify this flag several times to enable debug output in the OpenSC library\&.
