SYNOPSIS
yubico-piv-tool [ OPTION ]...
DESCRIPTION
-h , --help
Print help and exit
--full-help
Print help, including hidden options, and exit
-V , --version
Print version and exit
-v , --verbose [= INT ]
Print more information (default=β0β)
-r , --reader = STRING
Only use a matching reader (default=βYubikeyβ)
-k , --key [= STRING ]
Management key to use, if no value is specified key will be asked for (default=β010203040506070801020304050607080102030405060708β)
-a , --action = ENUM
Action to take (possible values="version", "generate", "set-mgm-key", "reset", "pin-retries", "import-key", "import-certificate", "set-chuid", "request-certificate", "verify-pin", "verify-bio", "change-pin", "change-puk", "unblock-pin", "selfsign-certificate", "delete-certificate", "read-certificate", "status", "test-signature", "test-decipher", "list-readers", "set-ccc", "write-object", "read-object", "attest", "move-key", "delete-key")
Multiple actions may be given at once and will be executed in order for example --action = verify-pin --action = request-certificate
-s , --slot = ENUM
What key slot to operate on (possible values="9a", "9c", "9d", "9e", "82", "83", "84", "85", "86", "87", "88", "89", "8a", "8b", "8c", "8d", "8e", "8f", "90", "91", "92", "93", "94", "95", "f9")
