💅 YB-LIST-READERS(1) — the list-readers era 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to YB-LIST-READERS(1) — the manual page for list-readers, and it's literally here to list PC/SC readers for you. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

list-readers — list PC/SC readers 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

list-readers [-h|--help]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This one prints all the PC/SC reader names that are visible to the pcscd daemon, one per line. Slay. ✨

The way this command is iconic: it does not require a YubiKey to be connected, and it bypasses Context construction entirely. So yes, it works even when no card is present. No cap. 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h, --help — print help. That's it, that's the option. 🫶

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

List readers:

yb list-readers

Use the reader name with another command:

yb -r "Yubico YubiKey OTP+FIDO+CCID 00 00" list

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

yb(1), pcsc_scan(1) — go check your faves 👑.

Later, bestie 💖 — this page is from yb, dated/versioned 2026-03, and it's YB-LIST-READERS(1) to the very end. 🎀
