NAME

       gscriptor - Perl script to send commands to a smart card using a Gtk GUI

SYNOPSIS

       gscriptor

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the gscriptor command.

       gscriptor is a program that sends commands to a smart card using a batch file. The syntax of the commands is the same as for scriptor(1).

       scriptor(1) is in text mode. gscriptor(1) uses a Perl-Gtk graphical user interface and may be more user friendly.

       See scriptor(1) for details on the comands format.

OPTIONS

NAME

       pcscd - PC/SC Smart Card Daemon

SYNOPSIS

       pcscd [options]

OPTIONS

       -a, --apdu
	      log APDUs and SW using the debug method (see --debug).

       -c, --config file
	      Specifies the file file as an alternate location for /etc/reader.conf.

       -f, --foreground
	      Runs pcscd in the foreground and sends log messages to stderr instead of syslog(3).

       -d, --debug
	      use the lowest log level. Any log message of this level or above will be sent to stderr or syslog(3) depending on the use of --fore-
	      ground.

       --info use info log level. This is the default log level.

       --error
	      use error log level.

       --critical
	      use critical log level.

       The log levels are ordered as: debug < info < error < critical. Use a log level l will log this level and all the levels above it.

       -h, --help
	      Displays information about the pcscd command line

       -v, --version
	      Displays the program version number

       -H, --hotplug
	      Ask pcscd to rescan the USB buses for added or removed readers and re-read the /etc/reader.conf file to detect added or removed non-
	      USB readers (serial or PCMCIA).

DESCRIPTION

       pcscd is the daemon program for pcsc-lite and the MuscleCard framework. It is a resource manager that coordinates communications with smart
       card readers and smart cards and cryptographic tokens that are connected to the system.

       pcscd is normally started at boot time from /etc/init.d/pcscd.  It allows applications to access smart cards and  readers  without  knowing
       details of the card or reader.

       pcscd coordinates the loading of drivers for card readers.

       The purpose of pcsc-lite is to provide a cross compatible API (called winscard) for migrating Windows based PC/SC applications to Unix.

       At startup, pcscd loads the smart card reader drivers specified in the /etc/reader.conf file (or specified using --config file).

SERIAL SMART CARD READER DRIVERS

       Smart  card  reader  drivers  are  placed in the /usr/lib64/readers directory. Each driver is simply an .so file.  pcscd locates the driver
       using the /etc/reader.conf file.  See the reader.conf(5) manual page for more information.  Drivers  are  available  at	http://www.muscle-
       card.com/drivers.html.

USB SMART CARD READER DRIVERS

       USB  smart  card reader drivers are located in /usr/lib64/readers directory as a bundle. You shall not add a USB driver in /etc/reader.conf
       file.

FILES

       /etc/reader.conf : Reader configuration file

       /etc/init.d/pcscd : pcscd startup script

       /var/run/pcscd/pcscd.pid : process id of the running pcscd

       /usr/lib64/readers : directory containing bundles for USB drivers
