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 ac-
     cess 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.  Multi-
	     ple -v options increase the verbosity.  The maximum is 3.

	     Note  that  ssh(1),  ssh-agent(1), and ssh-keygen(1) will automati-
	     cally pass the -v flag to ssh-pkcs11-helper when  they  have  them-
	     selves been placed in debug mode.

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

HISTORY
     ssh-pkcs11-helper first appeared in OpenBSD 4.7.
