+libccid provides a PC/SC IFD handler implementation for the USB smart card
+drivers compliant to the Chip Card Interface Device (CCID) protocol.
+
+This package is needed to communicate with the CCID smartcard readers
+through the PC/SC Lite resource manager (pcscd). It also supports various
+Gemplus serial smart card readers.
+
+This requires pcsc-lite.
+
+You will need to edit the pcsc-lite config files to be able to use serial
+smart card readers. The INSTALL file in the documentation directory has
+all the details.
