ykinfo: Get only serial in decimal from YubiKey.
$ ykinfo -s -q
try on your machine

The command "ykinfo -s -q" is typically used in the context of the YubiKey, which is a hardware authentication device. Here is its breakdown:

  • "ykinfo" is the name of the command being executed.
  • "-s" flag stands for "serial number" and is used to request the serial number of the YubiKey device.
  • "-q" flag stands for "quiet" and is used to suppress any additional output apart from the specific information requested, in this case, the serial number.

So, when you run the "ykinfo -s -q" command, it will only display the serial number of the connected YubiKey device, without any extra details or prompts.
