NAME
gids-tool - smart card utility for GIDS cards

utility can be used from the command line to perform miscellaneous smart card operations on a GIDS smart card.
OPTIONS
-X, --initialize
-
Initialize token.

Define the administrator key
--pin pin
-
This option can be used to specify the PIN value on the command line. If the value is set to
env:VARIABLE, the value of the specified environment variable is used. By default, the code is prompted on the command line if needed.
Note that on most operation systems, any user can display the command line of any process on the system using utilities such as
