# gsmartcard(1)

a smart card reading, writing and managing program for Gnome.

## NAME

**gsmartcard** - a smart card reading, writing and managing program for Gnome.

## SYNOPSIS

**gsmartcard \[--help\]**

## DESCRIPTION

Gnome Smart Card is a smart card reader for Gnome. It uses the program smartcard to communicate with the card reader and the cards. Both programs are developed close together. gsmartcard's ability to read/write different cards relies 100% on its underlying program.

gsmartcard is released under the GNU General Public License. It was developed with Glade.

This is no actual documentation. It's just a general overview. I will write an info file and Gnome documentation as soon as I figure out how the Gnome help system works.

## OPTIONS

**--help,** Short help screen.
