titleSyntax: List slot contents
hwsetup -libname <pkcs11lib> [-slot <slot#>] [-pin <PIN>] [-nopinpad]
[-id <string>] [-label <string>] [-login user|so]
-list [-all] [-rwonly] [-showmod]

Options and arguments

For a description of the options libname, slot, pin, nopinpad and login and their arguments, see Generate DSA/EC/RSA key pair.

Options and ArgumentsDescription
list Use this option to list slot contents.
id <string>List all objects where the CKA_ID attribute contains the specified string, case insensitive string match.
label <string>List all objects where the CKA_LABEL attribute contains the specified string, case insensitive string match.
allUse this option to show all certificate content. Default: Not flagged.
rwonlyUse this option if the HSM requires a read/write session to be opened. Default: read only session.
showmodUse this option to show the value of the CKA_MODULUS attribute for RSA public keys. Default: Not flagged.

If you provide only the library name you will get a list of all slots. To list private objects, you must supply the slot, id and pin or label parameters.
