NAME¶
towitoko-tester — Towitoko driver CT-API interface tester tool
SYNOPSIS¶
towitoko-tester
DESCRIPTION¶
towitoko-tester is a simple tool that allows executing some simple commands on a
smartcard using a Towitoko smartcard reader. It can be used to test that a
smartcard can be properly recognized, and that it can be read and written.
The tool provides a text based menu interface. Commands that can be executed via
the menu depends on the reader card insertion status and the type of card
inserted. For memory cards it permits reading and writing data bytes, checking
and changing the PIN. For processor cards it permits selecting, reading and
updating binary card files.
Several readers on different ports can be used at a time. The text menu allows
opening, closing and changing current port. The smartcard can be inserted and
removed from any initialized reader at any time. The tool will automatically
detect when the card is inserted and removed, and will update the information
shown in the menu. However you must refresh the menu to see any change
reflected.
If you have installed pcscd package, and have configured your reader to be used
by pscsd, you'll need to stop the pcsc daemon before initializing the reader
with towitoko-tester.
