NAME
       westcos-tool - utility for manipulating data structure on westcos smart
       card and similar security tokens

SYNOPSIS
       westcos-tool [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION
       The westcos-tool utility is used to manipulate the westcos data
       structures on 2 Ko smart cards. Users can create PINs, keys and
       certificates stored on the token. User PIN authentication is performed
       for those operations that require it.

OPTIONS
       -G
	   Generate a private key on smart card. The smart card must be not
	   finalized and pin installed (ig. file for pin must be created, see
	   option -i). By default key length is 1536 bits. User authentication
	   is required for this operation.

       -L length
	   Change the length of private key, use with -G.

       -i
	   Install pin file in token, you must provide pin value with -pin.

       -pin value
	   set value of pin.

       -puk value
	   set value of puk (or value of new pin for change pin command see
	   -n).

       -n
	   Changes a PIN stored on the token. User authentication is required
	   for this operation.

       -u
	   Unblocks a PIN stored on the token. Knowledge of the Pin Unblock
	   Key (PUK) is required for this operation.

       -cert file
	   Write certificate file in pem format on the card. User
	   authentication is required for this operation.

       -F
	   Finalize the card, once finalize default key is invalidate so pin
	   and puk can´be changed anymore without user authentification.
	   Warning, smart cards not finalized are unsecure because pin can be
	   changed without user authentification (knowledge of default key is
	   enougth).

       -r n
	   Forces westcos-tool to use reader number n for operations.

       -gf path
	   Get the file path the file is written on disk with path name. User
	   authentication is required for this operation.

       -pf path
	   Put the file with name path from disk to card the file is written
	   in path. User authentication is required for this operation.

       -v
	   Causes westcos-tool to be more verbose. Specify this flag several
	   times to enable debug output in the OpenSC library.

       -h
	   Print help message on screen.
