Hello,
I'm going to release a new version of pcsc-lite soon. It will contain a
configuration file /etc/pcsc.conf which will allow you to set the following:
PORT_ALLOCATION "Demand" or "Static"
This will power up the card and reader either when a connection is
established or at the startup. Demand is nice because is frees up your
ports but is slower because it has to power up the IFD and open the port
every time a single connection is made. Static does this only when started.
POWER_SAVING "120"
Here you can specify the timeout when a card is powered down in seconds. A
value of 0 means the card is always powered when inserted
DEBUG_INFORMATION "On" or "Off"
This will display server side debug information.
DEBUG_FILE "/var/log/pcsc.log"
Here you can specify a file to output the debug information
STATUS_POLL "300"
This is the number of milliseconds used between status polling of the reader.
All libraries will be loaded when the daemon starts up and the function
pointers will be set then so there will be no function lookups during
operation and the libraries will remain always loaded to help eliminate
memory leaks.
I might look into using pthreads to do the status thead. Currently I am
forking the process but this is a bit heavy weight. Let me know what you
think about this please ......
Anyway, please send me email on your suggestions - I will be finishing this
up this weekend.
Best Regards,
Dave
