## DESCRIPTION

`pkcs11-destroy` destroys keys stored in a PKCS#11 device, identified by their `ID` or `label`.

Matching keys are displayed before being destroyed. By default, there is a five second delay to allow the user to interrupt the process before the destruction takes place.

## ARGUMENTS

-m module

  Specify the PKCS#11 provider module. This must be the full path to a shared library object implementing the PKCS#11 API for the device.

-s slot

  Open the session with the given PKCS#11 slot. The default is slot 0.

-i ID

  Destroy keys with the given object ID.

-l label

  Destroy keys with the given label.

-p PIN

  Specify the PIN for the device. If no PIN is provided on the command line, `pkcs11-destroy` will prompt for it.

-w seconds

  Specify how long to pause before carrying out key destruction. The default is five seconds. If set to `0`, destruction will be immediate.
