190 fc-simint This program is a specialized front end to fc-simtool, allowing
191 the latter tool to operate on SIM cards inside Calypso phones
192 and development boards. fc-simint loads and runs simagent on
193 the Calypso device in the manner of loadtools, then passes the
194 open file descriptor to fc-simtool.

196 fc-simtool Maintained in a separate fc-sim-tools repository, fc-simtool is
197 our tool for operating on SIM cards. Its primary mode of usage
198 is operating on SIM cards inserted into special smart card
199 reader/programmer devices, without going through any kind of
200 phone or other GSM device, but fc-simtool can also be invoked
201 indirectly via fc-simint, in which case it operates on SIM cards
202 inside Calypso devices.
