NAME¶
neard - Near Field Communication daemon
SYNOPSIS¶

[--plugin=<plugin1>,<plugin2>,...]
[--noplugin=<plugin1>,<plugin2>,...] [--nodaemon]
DESCRIPTION¶
neard is an NFC (Near Field Communication) daemon for managing NFC
operations on devices running the Linux operating system. It relies on the
Linux kernel NFC socket and generic netlink families, and is a fully modular
system that can be extended through plug-ins.
It supports all 4 NFC tag types reading and writing, along with NFC LLCP (peer
to peer mode) in both target and initiator modes. The Simple NDEF Exchange
Protocol (SNEP), NDEF Push Protocol (NPP) and handover (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth)
protocols are implemented as separate plugins on top of LLCP sockets.
OPTIONS¶
The following options are supported:
- --version
- Print the neard software version and exit.
- --help
- Print neard's available options and exit.
- --debug=<file1>:<file2>:...
- Sets how much information neard sends to the log destination (usually
syslog's "daemon" facility). If the file options are omitted,
then debugging information from all the source files are printed. If file
options are present, then only debug prints from that source file are
printed. Example: --debug=src/service.c:plugins/wifi.c
- --plugin=<plugin1>,<plugin2>,...
- Load these plugins only. The option can be a pattern containing
"*" and "?" characters.
- --noplugin=<plugin1>,<plugin2>,...
- Never load these plugins. The option can be a pattern containing
"*" and "?" characters.
- --nodaemon
- Do not daemonize. This is useful for debugging, and directs log output to
the controlling terminal in addition to syslog.
