Program that allows handling data from PKCS #11 smart cards
and security modules.
To use PKCS #11 tokens with gnutls the configuration file
/etc/gnutls/pkcs11.conf has to exist and contain a number of lines of the form 'load=/usr/lib/opensc-pkcs11.so'.
This section was generated by @strong{AutoGen},
using the @code{agtexi-cmd} template and the option descriptions for the @code{p11tool} program.
This software is released under the GNU General Public License, version 3 or later.
@anchor{p11tool usage}
@subsubheading p11tool help/usage (-h)
@cindex p11tool help
This is the automatically generated usage text for p11tool.
The text printed is the same whether for the @code{help} option (-h) or the @code{more-help} option (-!). @code{more-help} will print
the usage text by passing it through a pager program.
@code{more-help} is disabled on platforms without a working
@code{fork(2)} function. The @code{PAGER} environment variable is
used to select the program, defaulting to @file{more}. Both will exit
with a status code of 0.

@anchor{p11tool debug}
@subsubheading debug option (-d)
This is the ``enable debugging.'' option.
This option takes an argument number.
Specifies the debug level.
@anchor{p11tool write}
@subsubheading write option
This is the ``writes the loaded objects to a pkcs #11 token'' option.
It can be used to write private keys, certificates or secret keys to a token.
@anchor{p11tool generate-rsa}
@subsubheading generate-rsa option
This is the ``generate an rsa private-public key pair'' option.
Generates an RSA private-public key pair on the specified token.
@anchor{p11tool generate-dsa}
@subsubheading generate-dsa option
This is the ``generate an rsa private-public key pair'' option.
Generates an RSA private-public key pair on the specified token.
@anchor{p11tool generate-ecc}
@subsubheading generate-ecc option
This is the ``generate an rsa private-public key pair'' option.
Generates an RSA private-public key pair on the specified token.
@anchor{p11tool private}
@subsubheading private option
This is the ``marks the object to be written as private'' option.
@noindent
This option has some usage constraints. It:
@itemize @bullet
@item
is enabled by default.
@end itemize
The written object will require a PIN to be used.
@anchor{p11tool sec-param}
@subsubheading sec-param option
This is the ``specify the security level'' option.
This option takes an argument string @file{Security parameter}.
This is alternative to the bits option. Available options are [low, legacy, normal, high, ultra].
@anchor{p11tool inder}
@subsubheading inder option
This is the ``use der/raw format for input'' option.
Use DER/RAW format for input certificates and private keys.
@anchor{p11tool inraw}
@subsubheading inraw option
This is an alias for the inder option,
@pxref{p11tool inder, the inder option documentation}.
@anchor{p11tool provider}
@subsubheading provider option
This is the ``specify the pkcs #11 provider library'' option.
This option takes an argument file.
This will override the default options in /etc/gnutls/pkcs11.conf
@anchor{p11tool exit status}
@subsubheading p11tool exit status
One of the following exit values will be returned:
@table @samp
@item 0 (EXIT_SUCCESS)
Successful program execution.
@item 1 (EXIT_FAILURE)
The operation failed or the command syntax was not valid.
@end table

@anchor{p11tool Examples}
@subsubheading p11tool Examples
To view all tokens in your system use:
@example
$ p11tool --list-tokens
@end example
To view all objects in a token use:
@example
$ p11tool --login --list-all "pkcs11:TOKEN-URL"
@end example
To store a private key and a certificate in a token run:
@example
$ p11tool --login --write "pkcs11:URL" --load-privkey key.pem \
--label "Mykey"
$ p11tool --login --write "pkcs11:URL" --load-certificate cert.pem \
--label "Mykey"
@end example
Note that some tokens require the same label to be used for the certificate
and its corresponding private key.
To generate an RSA private key inside the token use:
@example
$ p11tool --login --generate-rsa --bits 1024 --label "MyNewKey" \
--outfile MyNewKey.pub "pkcs11:TOKEN-URL"
@end example
The bits parameter in the above example is explicitly set because some
tokens only support a limited number of bits. The output file is the
corresponding public key. This key can be used to general a certificate
request with certtool.
@example
certtool --generate-request --load-privkey "pkcs11:KEY-URL" \
--load-pubkey MyNewKey.pub --outfile request.pem
@end example
