-h,  --help

Print help and exit

--full-help

Print help, including hidden options, and exit

-V,  --version

Print version and exit

-v,  --verbose[=INT]

Print more information  (default=`0')

-r,  --reader=STRING

Only use a matching reader  (default=`Yubikey')

-k,  --key[=STRING]

Management key to use, if no value is specified key will be asked for (default=`010203040506070801020304050607080102030405060708')
