From the README in the toplevel source:
"[P11-KIT] Provides a way to load and enumerate PKCS#11 modules. Provides a
standard configuration setup for installing PKCS#11 modules in such a way that
they're discoverable."
File locatations are described in [1]. There is a global configuration file in
/etc/pkcs11/pkcs11.conf. Per module configuration happens in
/etc/pkcs11/<module name>. There is also user configuration in ~/.pkcs11, but
IMO this should not be allowed in the abstraction. Example configuration can be
seen in the upstream documentation[2].
This will likely need to be refined as more applications use p11-kit.
