ykman: Get information from YubiKey.
$ ykman info
try on your machine

The command "ykman info" is used to get information about a YubiKey device connected to a computer.

"ykman" stands for YubiKey Manager, which is a command-line utility that provides a way to interact with YubiKey devices. It allows you to configure and manage various aspects of the YubiKey.

When you run the "ykman info" command, it retrieves information about the connected YubiKey such as its firmware version, serial number, supported interfaces (e.g., USB, NFC), installed applications, and any available configuration options.

This command can be useful to verify the identity and properties of a YubiKey device, check if it has the latest firmware, or troubleshoot any issues with its configuration.
