NAME
     gids-tool - smart card utility for GIDS cards

SYNOPSIS
     gids-tool [OPTIONS]

     The  gids-tool utility can be used from the command line to perform miscel-
     laneous smart card operations on a GIDS smart card.

OPTIONS
     -X, --initialize
	 Initialize token.

     --admin-key argument
	 Define the administrator key

     --pin pin
	 This option can be used to specify the PIN value on the  command  line.
	 If  the  value is set to env:VARIABLE, the value of the specified envi-
	 ronment variable is used. By default, the code is prompted on the  com-
	 mand line if needed.

	 Note  that  on most operation systems, any user can display the command
	 line of any process on the system using utilities such as ps(1). There-
	 fore, you should prefer passing the codes via an  environment	variable
	 on an unsecured system.

	 Unblock the user PIN after an administrator authentication.

	 Number  of  the  reader  to  use.  By	default, the first reader with a
	 present card is used. If argument is an ATR, the reader with a matching
	 card will be chosen.

     -w, --wait
	 Wait for a card to be inserted.

     -v, --verbose
	 Verbose operation. Use several times to enable debug output.
