--attr-from filename
Extract information from filename (DER-encoded
certificate file) and create the corresponding attributes when writing an
object to the token. Example: the certificate subject name is used to create
the CKA_SUBJECT attribute.
--change-pin, -c
Change the user PIN on the token
--unlock-pin
Unlock User PIN (without --login unlock in logged
in session; otherwise --login-type has to be 'context-specific').
--hash, -h
Hash some data.
--hash-algorithm mechanism
Specify hash algorithm used with RSA-PKCS-PSS signature
or RSA-OAEP decryption. Allowed values are "SHA-1",
"SHA256", "SHA384", "SHA512", and some tokens
may also allow "SHA224". Default is "SHA-1".
Note that the input to RSA-PKCS-PSS has to be of the size equal to
the specified hash algorithm. E.g., for SHA256 the signature input must be
exactly 32 bytes long (for mechanisms SHA256-RSA-PKCS-PSS there is no such
restriction). For RSA-OAEP, the plaintext input size mLen must be at most
keyLen - 2 - 2*hashLen. For example, for RSA 3072-bit key and SHA384, the
longest plaintext to encrypt with RSA-OAEP is (with all sizes in bytes): 384
- 2 - 2*48 = 286, aka 286 bytes.
--id id, -d id
Specify the id of the object to operate on.
--init-pin
Initializes the user PIN. This option differs from
--change-pin in that it sets the user PIN for the first time. Once set,
the user PIN can be changed using --change-pin.

Security Officer PIN (the label must be specified using --label).

DES:8, DES3:24, AES:16 or GENERIC:64.
--usage-sign

operations. This option is not needed if a PIN is provided on the command
line.
--login-type
Specify login type ('so', 'user', 'context-specific';
default:'user').
--mechanism mechanism, -m
mechanism
Use the specified mechanism for token operations.
See -M for a list of mechanisms supported by your token. The mechanism
can also be specified in hexadecimal, e.g., 0x80001234.
--mgf function
Use the specified Message Generation Function (MGF)
function for RSA-PKCS-PSS signatures or RSA-OAEP decryptions. Supported
arguments are MGF1-SHA1 to MGF1-SHA512 if supported by the driver. The default
is based on the hash selection.
--module mod
Specify a PKCS#11 module (or library) to load.
--moz-cert filename, -z filename
Test a Mozilla-like key pair generation and certificate
request. Specify the filename to the certificate file.
--output-file filename, -o
filename
Specify the path to a file for output.
--pin pin, -p pin
Use the given
pin for token operations. If set to
env:
VARIABLE, the value of the environment variable
VARIABLE is
used. WARNING: Be careful using this option as other users may be able to read
the command line from the system or if it is embedded in a script. If set to
env:
VARIABLE, the value of the environment variable
VARIABLE is
used.
This option will also set the --login option.
--puk puk
Supply User PUK on the command line.
--new-pin pin
Supply new User PIN on the command line.
--sensitive
Set the CKA_SENSITIVE attribute (object cannot be
revealed in plaintext).

Set the CKA_EXTRACTABLE attribute (object can be
extracted)
--set-id id, -e id
Set the CKA_ID of the object.
--show-info, -I

data.

that has the inserted token with this label.
--so-pin pin
Use the given pin as the Security Officer PIN for
some token operations (token initialization, user PIN initialization, etc). If
set to env:VARIABLE, the value of the environment variable
VARIABLE is used. The same warning as --pin also applies
here.
--test, -t
Perform some tests on the token. This option is most
useful when used with either --login or --pin.
--test-hotplug
Test hotplug capabilities (C_GetSlotList +
C_WaitForSlotEvent).
--private
Set the CKA_PRIVATE attribute (object is only viewable
