# pkcs11\_startup(1)

extract tokens from shared object libraries

## NAME

pkcs11\_startup - extract tokens from shared object libraries

## DESCRIPTION

Script that detects available tokens from installed shared object libraries and writes corresponding records to the pk\_config\_data file. The pkcsslotd daemon later uses this information when initializing the tokens. The script should be run each time a new token has been installed or uninstalled.
