NAME         top

     ssh-sk-helper — OpenSSH helper for FIDO authenticator support

SYNOPSIS         top

     ssh-sk-helper [-v]

DESCRIPTION         top

     ssh-sk-helper is used by ssh-agent(1) to access keys provided by a
     FIDO authenticator.

     ssh-sk-helper is not intended to be invoked by the user, but from
     ssh-agent(1).

     A single option is supported:

     -v      Verbose mode.  Causes ssh-sk-helper to print debugging
             messages about its progress.  This is helpful in debugging
             problems.  Multiple -v options increase the verbosity.  The
             maximum is 3.

             Note that ssh-agent(1) will automatically pass the -v flag
             to ssh-sk-helper when it has itself been placed in debug
             mode.

SEE ALSO         top

     ssh-sk-helper first appeared in OpenBSD 6.7.
