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
