-t {iso7816,cryptoflex,ePass,nPA,relay,handler_test}, --type {iso7816,cryptoflex,ePass,nPA,relay,handler_test}
type of smart card to emulate (default: iso7816)
-v, --verbose
Use (several times) to be more verbose
-f FILE, --file FILE
load a saved smart card image
-H HOSTNAME, --hostname HOSTNAME
specifiy vpcd's host name if vicc shall connect to it. (default: localhost)
-P PORT, --port PORT

--ca-key CA_KEY
the chip's private key for CA (default: randomly generated, invalidates signature of EF.CardSecurity)
-d DATASETFILE, --datasetfile DATASETFILE
Load the smartcard's data groups (DGs) from the specified dataset file. For DGs not in dataset file default values are used. The data groups in the data set file must have the following syntax: --------------------------------------------------- Datagroupname=Datagroupvalue --------------------------------------------------- For Example: GivenNames=GERTRUD.
