-/* LEARN [--force] [--keypairinfo]
-
-   Learn all useful information of the currently inserted card.  When
-   used without the force options, the command might do an INQUIRE
-   like this:
-
-      INQUIRE KNOWNCARDP <hexstring_with_serialNumber> <timestamp>
-
-   The client should just send an "END" if the processing should go on
-   or a "CANCEL" to force the function to terminate with a Cancel
-   error message.  
-
-   With the option --keypairinfo only KEYPARIINFO lstatus lines are
-   returned.
-
-   The response of this command is a list of status lines formatted as
-   this:
-
-     S APPTYPE <apptype>
-
-   This returns the type of the application, currently the strings:
-
-       P15     = PKCS-15 structure used
-       DINSIG  = DIN SIG
-       OPENPGP = OpenPGP card
-       NKS     = NetKey card
-
-   are implemented.  These strings are aliases for the AID
-
-     S KEYPAIRINFO <hexstring_with_keygrip> <hexstring_with_id>
-
-   If there is no certificate yet stored on the card a single "X" is
-   returned as the keygrip.  In addition to the keypair info, information
-   about all certificates stored on the card is also returned:
-
-     S CERTINFO <certtype> <hexstring_with_id>
-
-   Where CERTTYPE is a number indicating the type of certificate:
-      0   := Unknown
-      100 := Regular X.509 cert
-      101 := Trusted X.509 cert
-      102 := Useful X.509 cert
-      110 := Root CA cert in a special format (e.g. DINSIG)
-      111 := Root CA cert as standard X509 cert.
-
-   For certain cards, more information will be returned:
-
-     S KEY-FPR <no> <hexstring>
-
-   For OpenPGP cards this returns the stored fingerprints of the
-   keys. This can be used check whether a key is available on the
-   card.  NO may be 1, 2 or 3.
-
-     S CA-FPR <no> <hexstring>
-
-   Similar to above, these are the fingerprints of keys assumed to be
-   ultimately trusted.
-
-     S DISP-NAME <name_of_card_holder>
-
-   The name of the card holder as stored on the card; percent
-   escaping takes place, spaces are encoded as '+'
-
-     S PUBKEY-URL <url>
-
-   The URL to be used for locating the entire public key.
-
