ASTRIBANK_ALLOW(8)					    ASTRIBANK_ALLOW(8)

NAME
       astribank_allow - License Xorcom Astribank (xpp) capabilities.

SYNOPSIS
       astribank_allow -D device-path [ options ]

       astribank_allow [-h]

DESCRIPTION
       Modern  Astribanks  (with  USB  product id's 116x) contain capabilities
       that may be licensed.

       astribank_allow is used to upload/download  the	licensing  information
       to/from the device.

       Uploading  a  valid license file to an Astribank, changes its capabili‐
       ties.  The change becomes effective after a firmware reset  (either  by
       powering	 the  device  off and on again, or via the astribank_tool full
       reset option).

       Downloading license from the device, produces a valid license file  for
       its  current  capabilities. This may be backed up, so the device may be
       later restored to its previous capabilities.

       The license file contains both a	 human	readable  description  of  the
       device capabilities for the end user and a hash of the licensing infor‐
       mation used by Xorcom to generate/modify licensed capabilities.

OPTIONS
       -D device-path
	      Required. The device to read from/write to. On modern UDEV-based
	      system  this  is	usually /dev/bus/usb/bus_num/device_num, where
	      bus_num and device_num are the first two numbers in  the	output
	      of  lsusb(8).   On  older	 systems that use usbfs, it is usually
	      /proc/bus/usb/bus_num/device_num.

       -w
	      Write capabilities to EEPROM, otherwise read capabilities

       -f filename
	      License filename (stdin/stdout if not specified)

       -v
	      Increase verbosity. May be used multiple times.

       -d mask
	      Set debug mask to mask. Default is 0, 0xFF is "everything".

       -h
	      Displays usage message.
