NAME
       p11tool - GnuTLS PKCS #11 tool

SYNOPSIS
       p11tool [-flag [value]]... [--opt-name[[=| ]value]]... [url]

       Operands and options may be intermixed.	They will be reordered.

DESCRIPTION
       Program	that  allows handling data from PKCS #11 smart cards and secu‐
       rity modules.

       To  use	PKCS  #11  tokens   with   gnutls   the	  configuration	  file
       /etc/gnutls/pkcs11.conf	has  to exist and contain a number of lines of
       the form 'load=/usr/lib/opensc-pkcs11.so'.  Alternatively  the  p11-kit
       configuration files have to be setup.

       To  provide  the	 PIN  for all the operations below use the environment
       variable GNUTLS_PIN.

OPTIONS
       -d number, --debug=number
	      Enable debugging.	 This option takes an integer  number  as  its
	      argument.	 The value of number is constrained to being:
		  in the range	0 through 9999

	      Specifies the debug level.

       --outfile=string
	      Output file.

       --list-tokens
	      List all available tokens.

       --export
	      Export the object specified by the URL.

       --export-chain
	      Export the certificate specified by the URL and its chain of
	      trust.

	      Exports the certificate specified by the URL and generates its
	      chain of trust based on the stored certificates in the module.

       --list-mechanisms
	      List all available mechanisms in a token.

       --list-all
	      List all available objects in a token.

       --list-all-certs
	      List all available certificates in a token.

       --list-certs
	      List all certificates that have an associated private key.

       --list-all-privkeys
	      List all available private keys in a token.

	      Lists all the private keys in a token that match the specified
	      URL.

       --list-privkeys
	      This is an alias for the --list-all-privkeys option.

       --list-keys
	      This is an alias for the --list-all-privkeys option.

       --list-all-trusted
	      List all available certificates marked as trusted.

       --initialize
	      Initializes a PKCS #11 token.

       --write
	      Writes the loaded objects to a PKCS #11 token.

	      It can be used to write private keys, certificates or secret
	      keys to a token.

       --delete
	      Deletes the objects matching the PKCS #11 URL.

       --generate-random=number
	      Generate random data.  This option takes an integer number as
	      its argument.

	      Asks the token to generate a number of bytes of random bytes.

       --generate-rsa
	      Generate an RSA private-public key pair.

	      Generates an RSA private-public key pair on the specified token.

       --generate-dsa
	      Generate an RSA private-public key pair.

	      Generates an RSA private-public key pair on the specified token.

       --generate-ecc
	      Generate an RSA private-public key pair.

	      Generates an RSA private-public key pair on the specified token.

       --label=string
	      Sets a label for the write operation.

       --trusted, --no-trusted
	      Marks the object to be written as trusted.  The no-trusted form
	      will disable the option.

       --private, --no-private
	      Marks the object to be written as private.  The no-private form
	      will disable the option.	This option is enabled by default.

	      The written object will require a PIN to be used.

       --login, --no-login
	      Force (user) login to token.  The no-login form will disable the
	      option.

       --so-login, --no-so-login
	      Force security officer login to token.  The no-so-login form
	      will disable the option.

	      Forces login to the token as security officer (admin).

       --admin-login
	      This is an alias for the --so-login option.

       --detailed-url, --no-detailed-url
	      Print detailed URLs.  The no-detailed-url form will disable the
	      option.

       --secret-key=string
	      Provide a hex encoded secret key.

       --load-privkey=file
	      Private key file to use.

       --load-pubkey=file
	      Public key file to use.

       --load-certificate=file
	      Certificate file to use.

       -8, --pkcs8
	      Use PKCS #8 format for private keys.

       --bits=number
	      Specify the number of bits for key generate.  This option takes
	      an integer number as its argument.

       --sec-param=security parameter
	      Specify the security level.

	      This is alternative to the bits option. Available options are
	      [low, legacy, normal, high, ultra].

       --inder, --no-inder
	      Use DER/RAW format for input.  The no-inder form will disable
	      the option.

	      Use DER/RAW format for input certificates and private keys.

       --inraw
	      This is an alias for the --inder option.

       --outder, --no-outder
	      Use DER format for output certificates, private keys, and DH
	      parameters.  The no-outder form will disable the option.

	      The output will be in DER or RAW format.

       --outraw
	      This is an alias for the --outder option.

       --provider=file
	      Specify the PKCS #11 provider library.

       -h, --help
	      Display usage information and exit.

       -!, --more-help
	      Pass the extended usage information through a pager.

       -v [{v|c|n}], --version[={v|c|n}]
	      Output version of program and exit.  The default mode is `v', a
	      simple version.  The `c' mode will print copyright information
	      and `n' will print the full copyright notice.

EXAMPLES
       To view all tokens in your system use:
	   $ p11tool --list-tokens

       To view all objects in a token use:
	   $ p11tool --login --list-all "pkcs11:TOKEN-URL"

       To store a private key and a certificate in a token run:
	   $ p11tool --login --write "pkcs11:URL" --load-privkey key.pem	   --label "Mykey"
	   $ p11tool --login --write "pkcs11:URL" --load-certificate cert.pem		--label "Mykey"
       Note that some tokens require the same label to be used for the cer‐
       tificate and its corresponding private key.

       To generate an RSA private key inside the token use:
	   $ p11tool --login --generate-rsa --bits 1024 --label "MyNewKey"	     --outfile MyNewKey.pub "pkcs11:TOKEN-URL"
       The bits parameter in the above example is explicitly set because some
       tokens only support a limited number of bits. The output file is the
       corresponding public key. This key can be used to general a certificate
       request with certtool.
	   certtool --generate-request --load-privkey "pkcs11:KEY-URL"	  --load-pubkey MyNewKey.pub --outfile request.pem

EXIT STATUS
       One of the following exit values will be returned:

       0 (EXIT_SUCCESS)
	      Successful program execution.

       1 (EXIT_FAILURE)
	      The operation failed or the command syntax was not valid.

       70 (EX_SOFTWARE)
	      libopts had an internal operational error.  Please report it to
	      autogen-users@lists.sourceforge.net.  Thank you.
