NAME
       ssh-sk-helper — 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  debugging 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.
