.SH "DESCRIPTION"

.PP
This function connects to a card in a reader, resets the card and retrieves the ATR (Answer To Reset)\&. Based on the ATR, it tries to auto\-detect which card driver to use\&.

.PP
The \fIslot\fR parameter identifies the card reader's slot\&. Slots are numbered consecutively, starting at 0\&.

.PP
If OpenSC was able to connect to the card, a pointer to the sc_card_t object is stored in the location pointer to by the \fIcard\fR parameter\&. The card handle should be released with sc_disconnect_card when no longer in use\&.

.SH "RETURN VALUE"

.PP
Returns 0 if successful, or a negative value in case of error\&.
