pcscd \- PCSC Lite resource manager daemon
10
The PCSC daemon is used to dynamically allocate/deallocate
11
smartcard reader drivers at runtime and manage conections to the readers.
13
At least one reader driver must be available for PCSC daemon to operate. See
14
http://www.linuxnet.com for a list of available reader drivers.
16
Serial port connected drivers must be declared in the config file /etc/reader.conf,
17
and pcscd must be restarted to recognize a new reader.
19
The format of the file /etc/reader.conf is as follows:
21
FRIENDLYNAME <Descriptive name>
23
DEVICENAME <Short name>
25
LIBPATH <Location of the driver library>
27
CHANNELID <Hexadecimal channel identificator>
29
Channel identificator meaning is dependant on the reader driver. However most
30
serial readers follow this convention:
32
0x0103F8 \- /dev/ttyS0 (COM1)
34
0x0102F8 \- /dev/ttyS1 (COM2)
36
0x0103E8 \- /dev/ttyS2 (COM3)
38
0x0102E8 \- /dev/ttyS3 (COM4)
40
USB readers must be installed under /usr/lib/pcsc/drivers. There is no need to edit
41
the file /etc/reader.conf for USB readers.
45
Output version information and exit.
