Towitoko Tester(1) General Commands Manual Towitoko Tester(1) NAME
towitoko-tester -- Towitoko driver CT-API interface tester tool SYNOPSIS
towitoko-tester DESCRIPTION
towitoko-tester is a simple tool that allows executing some simple commands on a smartcard using a Towitoko smartcard reader. It can be used to test that a smartcard can be properly recognized, and that it can be read and written. The tool provides a text based menu interface. Commands that can be executed via the menu depends on the reader card insertion status and the type of card inserted. For memory cards it permits reading and writing data bytes, checking and changing the PIN. For processor cards it permits selecting, reading and updating binary card files. Several readers on different ports can be used at a time. The text menu allows opening, closing and changing current port. The smartcard can be inserted and removed from any initialized reader at any time. The tool will automatically detect when the card is inserted and removed, and will update the information shown in the menu. However you must refresh the menu to see any change reflected. If you have installed pcscd package, and have configured your reader to be used by pscsd, you'll need to stop the pcsc daemon before ini- tializing the reader with towitoko-tester. SEE ALSO

PCSCD(8) PC/SC Lite PCSCD(8) NAME
pcscd - PC/SC Smart Card Daemon SYNOPSIS
pcscd [options] OPTIONS
-a, --apdu log APDUs and SW using the debug method (see --debug). -c, --config file Specifies the file file as an alternate location for /etc/reader.conf.d/reader.conf. -f, --foreground Runs pcscd in the foreground and sends log messages to stderr instead of syslog(3). -d, --debug use the lowest log level. Any log message of this level or above will be sent to stderr or syslog(3) depending on the use of --fore- ground. --info use info log level. This is the default log level. --error use error log level. --critical use critical log level. The log levels are ordered as: debug < info < error < critical. Use a log level l will log this level and all the levels above it. -h, --help Displays information about the pcscd command line -v, --version Displays the program version number -H, --hotplug Ask pcscd to rescan the USB buses for added or removed readers and re-read the /etc/reader.conf.d/reader.conf file to detect added or removed non-USB readers (serial or PCMCIA). DESCRIPTION
pcscd is the daemon program for pcsc-lite. It is a resource manager that coordinates communications with smart card readers and smart cards and cryptographic tokens that are connected to the system. It allows applications to access smart cards and readers using the winscard API but without knowing details of the card or reader. pcscd coordinates the loading of drivers for card readers. SERIAL SMART CARD READER DRIVERS
Smart card reader drivers are placed in the /usr/lib64/pcsc/drivers directory. Each driver is simply an .so file. pcscd locates the driver using the /etc/reader.conf.d/reader.conf file. See the reader.conf(5) manual page for more information. Drivers are available at http://www.musclecard.com/drivers.html. USB SMART CARD READER DRIVERS
USB smart card reader drivers are located in /usr/lib64/pcsc/drivers directory as a bundle. You shall not add a USB driver in /etc/reader.conf.d/reader.conf file. FILES
