-@opindex card-timeout
-If @var{n} is not 0 and no client is actively using the card, the card
-will be powered down after @var{n} seconds. Powering down the card
-avoids a potential risk of damaging a card when used with certain

-Scdaemon to access the card. The disadvantage of using a card timeout
-is that accessing the card takes longer and that the user needs to
-enter the PIN again after the next power up.

-Note that with the current version of Scdaemon the card is powered
