💖 CHIPCARD-TOOL — the chipcard-tool manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so you found chipcard-tool, and honestly? iconic. it lives in section 1 of the manual, so hi, welcome, let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

chipcard-tool — a commandline client to access smart cards via libchipcard

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

chipcard-tool [options] [command]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so chipcard-tool is a command line client for libchipcard, and its whole job is literally just testing the setup. that's it. that's the vibe. it's the "does this thing even work" girlie of the smart card world 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -C CONFIG, --configfile=CONFIG — the configuration file to load. give it your config, bestie, it'll read it.
  • -f FILENAME, --file=FILENAME — this FILENAME is what gets used when reading or writing data, like public keys, bank information, etc. so if you're moving data around, this is where it goes 💾
  • --logtype=TYPE — set the logtype. the options are console and file. pick your fighter.
  • --loglevel=LEVEL — set the log level. your choices are info, notice, warning, error.
  • --logfile=LOGFILE — set the log file. this one's only relevant if the log type is file, iykyk.
  • -v, --verbous — every single time you use this option, the verbosity goes up. yes, it's spelled --verbous. no, we're not fixing it. it's part of the charm 😭 every occurrence stacks, so stack away.

👑 COMMANDS 👑

  • atr — read the ATR data from a chipcard. that's the whole command. simple, clean, slays.
