-- Send Chilkat the output of the following source code:

local scmd = chilkat.ScMinidriver.new()

-- Reader names (smart card readers or USB tokens) can be discovered
-- via PCSC List Readers or PCSC Find Smart Cards
local readerName = "Alcor Micro USB Smart Card Reader 0"
local success = scmd:acquire_context(readerName)
if not success then
    print(scmd.last_error_text)
    return
end

local json = chilkat.JsonObject.new()
json.emit_compact = false

-- ------------------------------------------------------
-- 3. Send Chilkat the JSON returned by GetCardProperties
-- ------------------------------------------------------
success = scmd:get_card_properties(json)
if not success then
    print(scmd.last_error_text)
    return
end

print(json:emit())

-- ------------------------------------------------------
-- 4. Send Chilkat the JSON returned by GetCspContainerMap
-- ------------------------------------------------------
json:clear()
success = scmd:get_csp_container_map(json)
if not success then
    print(scmd.last_error_text)
    return
end

print(json:emit())
