Header files: PCSC framework
A standard Lion installation does not contain the header files used to develop PC/SC applications. You need to install the Xcode package for that.After installing Xcode (available for free from the App Store) you get:
$ cd /System/Library/Frameworks/PCSC.framework/Headers $ grep rousseau * pcsclite.h: * Ludovic Rousseau <ludovic.rousseau@free.fr> pcsclite.h: * $Id: pcsclite.h 123 2010-03-27 10:50:42Z ludovic.rousseau@gmail.com $ winscard.h: * Ludovic Rousseau <ludovic.rousseau@free.fr> winscard.h: * $Id: winscard.h 123 2010-03-27 10:50:42Z ludovic.rousseau@gmail.com $ wintypes.h: * $Id: wintypes.h 123 2010-03-27 10:50:42Z ludovic.rousseau@gmail.com $
My name is in 3 files:
pcsclite.h, winscard.h and wintypes.h. The lines with $Id: ... $ are automatically changed by subversion when a new commit is made. If someone make a new commit to these files my name will be replace. But as I wrote in Mac OS X Lion and smart cards status I am nearly the only one to work on pcsc-lite on Mac OS X.Ask nicely: CCID driver
My name is also present in the binary of the CCID driver.
$ cd /usr/libexec/SmartCardServices/drivers/ifd-ccid.bundle/Contents/MacOS
$ strings libccid.dylib | grep Rousseau

This is because the CCID driver implements the SCARD_ATTR_VENDOR_NAME attribute for SCardGetAttrib(). You can extract the information using a simple
getAttrib.py Python program:#! /usr/bin/env python from smartcard.System import readers from smartcard.scard import SCARD_ATTR_VENDOR_NAME card_connection = readers()[0].createConnection() card_connection.connect() name = card_connection.getAttrib(SCARD_ATTR_VENDOR_NAME) print ''.join([chr(char) for char in name])
The execution gives:
$ ./getAttrib.py
Ludovic Rousseau
You need to use at least revision 541 of the pyscard project. This version is not yet available in a stable pyscard release.

My name is famous in France. Wikipedia lists 50 different Rousseau and I am not (yet) in the list.Mac OS X provides a dictionary. Using the French Academy Dictionary we have:
From the Oxford Dictionary of English we have:
Conclusion
My full name is present 4 times in a default Mac OS X Lion installation. The number goes up to 9 on a developer system. What about your name?
Yes, this article is useless. Maybe it is a sign I am mad? Ha ha ha!
