like… it's a socket. it remotes. it does PKCS#11. that's the vibe. periodt.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

p11-kit-remote.socket

no flags, no arguments, no drama. just the name, sitting there, iconic. 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically? it's a socket that gives you access to the PKCS#11 tokens hanging out in the user session. 🫶

that's it. that's the whole thing. a little doorway, lowkey, letting you reach the tokens. not me being obsessed with a socket. 🙈
