<title>Description</title>
<para>The <command>netkey-tool</command> utility can be used from the
command line to perform some smart card operations with NetKey E4 cards
that cannot be done easily with other OpenSC-tools, such as changing local
PINs, storing certificates into empty NetKey E4 cert-files or displaying
the initial PUK-value.</para>

<title>PIN format</title>
<para>With the <option>-p</option>, <option>-u</option>, <option>-0</option> or the <option>-1</option>
one of the cards pins may be specified. You may use plain ascii-strings (i.e. 123456) or a hex-string
(i.e. 31:32:33:34:35:36). A hex-string must consist of exactly n 2-digit hexnumbers separated by n-1 colons.
Otherwise it will be interpreted as an ascii string. For example :12:34: and 1:2:3:4 are both pins of
length 7, while 12:34 and 01:02:03:04 are pins of length 2 and 4.</para>

<title>Commands</title>
<para>When used without any options or commands, <command>netkey-tool</command> will
display information about the smart cards pins and certificates. This will not change
your card in any aspect (assumed there are no bugs in <command>netkey-tool</command>).
In particular the tries-left counters of the pins are investigated without doing
actual pin-verifications.</para>
<para>If you specify the global PIN via the <option>--pin</option> option,
<command>netkey-tool</command> will also display the initial value of the cards
global PUK. If your global PUK was changed <command>netkey-tool</command> will still
display its initial value. There's no way to recover a lost global PUK once it was changed.
There's also no way to display the initial value of your global PUK without knowing the
current value of your global PIN. </para>
<para>For most of the commands that <command>netkey-tool</command> can execute, you have
to specify one pin. One notable exception is the <command>nullpin</command> command, but
this command can only be executed once in the lifetime of a NetKey E4 card.</para>

<listitem><para>This command will read one of your cards certificates (as specified by

have to specify one.</para></listitem>

this will not work with all values of <replaceable>number</replaceable>. If a certificate file is
writable you must specify a pin in order to change it. If you try to use this command
without specifying a pin, <command>netkey-tool</command> will tell you which one is
needed.</para></listitem>

PUK-value.</para></listitem>
