DESCRIPTION
p11-kit is a command line tool that can be used to perform operations on PKCS#11 modules
configured on the system.

See the various sub commands below. The following global options can be used:

-v, --verbose
Run in verbose mode with debug output.

-q, --quiet
Run in quiet mode without warning or failure messages.

LIST MODULES
List system configured PKCS#11 modules.

$ p11-kit list-modules

The modules, information about them and the tokens present in the PKCS#11 modules will be
displayed.

EXTRACT
Extract certificates from configured PKCS#11 modules.

This operation has been moved to a separate command trust extract. See trust(1) for more
information

SERVER
Run a server process that exposes PKCS#11 module remotely.

$ p11-kit server /path/to/pkcs11-module.so
$ p11-kit server pkcs11:token-uri

This launches a server that exposes the given PKCS#11 module or token on a local socket.
To access the socket, use p11-kit-client.so module. The server address and PID are printed
as a shell-script snippet which sets the appropriate environment variable:
P11_KIT_SERVER_ADDRESS and P11_KIT_SERVER_PID.

EXTRACT TRUST
Extract standard trust information files.

This operation has been moved to a separate command trust extract-compat. See trust(1) for
more information

REMOTE
Run a PKCS#11 module remotely.

$ p11-kit remote /path/to/pkcs11-module.so

This is not meant to be run directly from a terminal. But rather in a remote option in a
pkcs11.conf(5) file.
