[opensc-devel] PKCS#11 forwarding driver?

Hello everybody, in the PKCS11 standard it is defined that C_GetAttributeValue may return a length of -1 with some non-CKR_OK return codes. The PKCS11 spy checks that: if (rv == CKR_OK || rv == CKR_ATTRIBUTE_SENSITIVE || rv == CKR_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_INVALID || rv == CKR_BUFFER_TOO
