# This file describes how to load the opensc module
# See: https://p11-glue.github.io/p11-glue/p11-kit/manual/pkcs11-conf.html
# or man pkcs11.conf

# This is a relative path, which means it will be loaded from
# the p11-kit default path which is usually $(libdir)/pkcs11.
# Doing it this way allows for packagers to package opensc for
# 32-bit and 64-bit and make them parallel installable

another way would be to add YubiKeys to ignored readers list in OpenSC which leaves other readers working.

> opensc-tool -l
# Detected readers (pcsc)
Nr.  Card  Features  Name
0    Yes             ACS CCID USB Reader 0
1    Yes             Yubico YubiKey OTP+FIDO+CCID 0
2    Yes             Yubico YubiKey OTP+FIDO+CCID 1

and in opensc.conf I haved added:

app onepin-opensc-pkcs11 {
	ignored_readers = "Yubico YubiKey OTP+FIDO+CCID 0", "Yubico YubiKey OTP+FIDO+CCID 1";
}

app opensc-pkcs11 {
	ignored_readers = "Yubico YubiKey OTP+FIDO+CCID 0", "Yubico YubiKey OTP+FIDO+CCID 1";
}

just the OpenSC reader(s) wanted:
