Package Information

DescriptionNFC - Near Field Communication management daemon

A system-level daemon which manages NFC adapters. It relies on the Linux kernel NFC socket and generic netlink families, and is a fully modular system that can be extended through plug-ins.

It supports all 4 NFC tag types reading and writing, along with NFC LLCP (peer to peer mode) in both target and initiator modes. The Simple NDEF Exchange Protocol (SNEP), NDEF Push Protocol (NPP) and handover (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) protocols are implemented as separate plugins on top of LLCP sockets.

This package contains the neard systemd daemon.
