<refsect1 id="p11-kit-list-modules">
	<title>List Modules</title>

	<para>List system configured PKCS#11 modules.</para>

<programlisting>
$ p11-kit list-modules
</programlisting>

	<para>The modules, information about them and the tokens present in
	the PKCS#11 modules will be displayed.</para>

</refsect1>

<refsect1 id="p11-kit-extract">
	<title>Extract</title>

	<para>Extract certificates from configured PKCS#11 modules.</para>

	<para>This operation has been moved to a separate command <command>trust extract</command>.
	See <member><citerefentry><refentrytitle>trust</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry></member>

<refsect1 id="p11-kit-server">
	<title>Server</title>

	<para>Run a server process that exposes PKCS#11 module remotely.</para>

<programlisting>
$ p11-kit server pkcs11:token1 pkcs11:token2 ...
$ p11-kit server --provider /path/to/pkcs11-module.so pkcs11:token1 pkcs11:token2 ...
</programlisting>

	<para>This launches a server that exposes the given PKCS#11 tokens on a local socket. The tokens must belong to the same module. To access the socket, use <literal>p11-kit-client.so</literal> module. The server address and PID are printed as a shell-script snippet which sets the appropriate environment variable: <literal>P11_KIT_SERVER_ADDRESS</literal> and <literal>P11_KIT_SERVER_PID</literal>.</para>

</refsect1>

<refsect1 id="p11-kit-extract-trust">
	<title>Extract Trust</title>

	<para>Extract standard trust information files.</para>

	<para>This operation has been moved to a separate command <command>trust extract-compat</command>.
	See <citerefentry><refentrytitle>trust</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
	for more information</para>
</refsect1>

<refsect1 id="p11-kit-remote">
	<title>Remote</title>

	<para>Run a PKCS#11 module remotely.</para>

<programlisting>
$ p11-kit remote /path/to/pkcs11-module.so
$ p11-kit remote pkcs11:token1 pkcs11:token2 ...
</programlisting>

	<para>This is not meant to be run directly from a terminal. But rather in a
	<option>remote</option> option in a
	<citerefentry><refentrytitle>pkcs11.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
	file.</para>
	<para>This exposes the given PKCS#11 module or tokens over standard input and output. Those two forms, whether to expose a module or tokens, are mutually exclusive and if the second form is used, the tokens must belong to the same module.</para>
