+# nitrokey-rs
+
+A libnitrokey wrapper for Rust providing access to Nitrokey devices.
+
+[Documentation][]
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+nitrokey = "0.1.0"
+```
+
+## Compatibility
+
+In order to use this crate, a [`libnitrokey`][] installation is required
+(both development headers and library). The crate is developed using version
+3.2, but any newer version should work too.
+
+As I only have access to a Nitrokey Pro, this crate only provides support for
+the Nitrokey Pro methods. If you want to contribute for the Nitrokey Storage,
+please send a mail to [nitrokey-rs-dev@ireas.org][].
+
+### Unsupported Functions
+
+The following functions provided by `libnitrokey` are deliberately not
+supported by `nitrokey-rs`:
+
+- `NK_get_time()`. This method is useless as it will always cause a timestamp
+ error on the device (see [pull request #114][] for `libnitrokey` for details).
+- `NK_get_status()`. This method only provides a string representation of
+ data that can be accessed by other methods (firmware version, seriel number,
+ configuration).
+
+## Tests
+
+The default test suite assumes that no Nitrokey device is connected and only
+performs minor sanity checks. There is another test suite that assumes that a
+Nitrokey Pro is connected (admin password `12345678`, user password `123456`).
+To execute this test suite, run `cargo test --no-default-features --features
+test-pro -- --test-threads 1`. Note that this test suite might lock your stick
+if you have different passwords!
+
+The `totp` and `totp_pin` tests can occasionally fail due to bad timing. Also
+make sure to run the tests sequentially (`--test-threads 1`), otherwise they
+might interfere.
+
+The `get_major_firmware_version` test will fail for newer `libnitrokey`
+versions as it relies on buggy behavior in version 3.2.
