NAME
       nfc-poll	- poll first available NFC target

SYNOPSIS
       nfc-poll

DESCRIPTION
       nfc-poll	 is  a utility for polling any available target	(tags but also
       NFCIP targets) using ISO14443-A,	FeliCa,	Jewel and  ISO14443-B  modula-
       tions.

       This  tool  uses	 hardware  polling feature if available	(ie. PN532) or
       switch back to software polling,	it will	display	available  information
       retrieved from the tag.

OPTIONS
       -v     Tells  nfc-poll  to  be verbose and display detailed information
	      about the	targets	shown.	This includes SAK decoding and finger-
	      printing is available.

IMPORTANT
       There are some well-know	limits with this example:
	- Even with NDO_AUTO_14443_4A enabled  (default),  nfc-poll  can  miss
       ATS.  That due to the way the PN532 use to poll for ISO14443 type A, it
       will attempt to find ISO14443-4-only targets, then ISO14443-3. If  your
       ISO14443-4  target is present when PN532	looks for ISO14443-4-only, ATS
       will  be	 retrieved.  But  if  your  target  enter  the	field	during
       ISO14443-3, RATS	will not be sent and ATS not retrieved.
	-  nfc-poll  can  show up only one card	while two are in field.	That's
       due, again, to the way the PN532	poll for targets. It will stop polling
       when one	modulation got a result, so if	you  have,  for	 example,  one
       ISO14443-3  (eg.	Mifare Ultralight) and one ISO14443-4 (eg. Mifare DES-
       Fire), it will probably return only the ISO14443-4.
