`openpgp-tool` OPTIONS

## Description

The `openpgp-tool` utility is used for accessing data from the OpenPGP v1.1 and v2.0 smart cards and compatible tokens like e.g. GPF CryptoStick v1.x, which might not be present in PKCS#15 objects but available in custom files on the card. The data can be printed on screen or used by other programs via environment variables.

## Options

`--card-info`, `-C`

  Show card information.

`--del-key` arg

  Delete key indicated by arg. arg can be `1`, `2`, `3`, or `all`.

`--do` arg, `-d` arg

  Dump private data object (DO) indicated by arg. arg can be in the form x, `10` x, or `010` x to access `DO 010` x, where x is `1`, `2`, `3`, or `4`.

`--erase`, `-E`

  Erase (i.e. reset) the card.

`--exec` prog, `-x` prog

  Execute the given program with data in environment variables.

`--gen-key` arg, `-G` arg

  Generate key with the ID given as arg. arg can be one of `1`, `2`, or `3`.

`--help`, `-h`

  Print help message on screen.

`--key-info`, `-K`

  Show information of keys on the card.

`--key-type` keytype, `-t` keytype

  Specify the type of the key to be generated. Supported values for keytype are `rsa` for RSA with 2048 bits, `rsa` LENGTH for RSA with a bit length of LENGTH. If not given, it defaults to `rsa2048`.

`--pin` string

  The PIN text to verify. If set to env:VARIABLE, the value of the environment variable VARIABLE is used.

`--pretty`

  Print values in pretty format.

`--raw`

  Print values in raw format, as they are stored on the card.

`--reader` arg, `-r` arg

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

`--user-info`, `-U`

  Show card holder information.

`--verify` pintype

  Verify PIN (CHV1, CHV2 or CHV3).

`--version`, `-V`

  Print the version of the utility and exit.

`--verbose`, `-v`

  Verbose operation. Use several times to enable debug output.

`--wait`, `-w`

  Wait for a card to be inserted.
