✨ EIDENV(1) — from the OpenSC Tools girlies ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

eidenv — a whole utility for accessing visible data from electronic identity cards 🪪✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

eidenv [OPTIONS]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the eidenv utility is for accessing data from electronic identity cards — think national eID cards, the whole thing 👑 — and here's the tea: that data might not be present in PKCS#15 objects, but it's still available in custom files on the card. rude of it, honestly. anyway, the data can be printed on screen or used by other programs via environment variables 🌈

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --exec prog, -x prog — runs the given program, with the data handed over in environment variables. it's giving "pass the aux" 🫶
• --help, -h — prints the help message on screen. your little safety net 💜
• --print, -p — prints all the data fields from the card, like validity period, document number, etc. the full haul, no crumbs ✨
• --reader arg, -r arg — the number of the reader to use. by default, the first reader with a present card is used. if arg is an ATR, the reader with a matching card will be chosen 👀
• --stats, -t — prints key usage statistics. (only for Estonian ID card, so if you don't have one, this is not for you babes 🙈)
• --version, -v — prints the version of the utility and exits. iconic exit 🚪
• --wait, -w — wait for a card to be inserted ⏳
