Re: [Opensc-devel] OpenSC onepin

[<fra...@gm...>]

Hi!

If I'm not mistaken, we are not exposing a virtual hotplug slot to the
application anymore.  Slots are only created for actual readers, see
https://github.com/OpenSC/OpenSC/blob/master/src/pkcs11/slot.c#L142. I
reintroduced the virtual hotplug slot in
https://github.com/OpenSC/OpenSC/pull/872, because NSS currently expects
that, once created, a slot never disappears.

Do you have a link to the one-pin-discussion?

Regards,
Frank.
