NAME
       ssh-sk-helper β€” OpenSSH helper for FIDO authenticator support

SYNOPSIS
       ssh-sk-helper [-v]

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

       ssh-sk-helper is not intended to be invoked directly by the user.

       A single option is supported:

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

	       Note that ssh(1), ssh-agent(1), and ssh-keygen(1) will automatically pass the -v flag to	 ssh-sk-helper	when
	       they have themselves been placed in debug mode.

SEE ALSO
       ssh(1), ssh-agent(1), ssh-keygen(1)

HISTORY
       ssh-sk-helper first appeared in OpenBSD 6.7.
