How do you list all readers, including internal ones? #77

Closed uniquehash closed 6 years ago

E.g. readers that are "never inserted" and therefore are not detected by on("reader").

in PC/SC terms such readers do not exist. A reader event is emitted during initial enumeration, thus you get a list of all usable smart card readers.

Thank you - to that effect, we ended up exposing readers in lib/pcsclite.js:34, as by the time we can attach a listener to on(“reader”) the initial reader(s) have already been enumerated. PR may follow soon.
