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.
