    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // First, Chilkat recommends downloading the MGTEK Smartcard Minidriver Tool to get information 
    // about your smartcard. 

    // The tool can be downloaded from https://www.mgtek.com/smartcard

    // --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // 1. Select the smartcard as shown below and send Chilkat a screenshot of the basic smartcard information.

    // 2. Select the cmapfile (if present) as shown below and send Chilkat a screenshot of the CSP container map

    // Chilkat provides functions to get information about the smartcard, and what it contains.
    // Send Chilkat the output of the following source code:

    CkScMinidriver scmd;

    // Reader names (smart card readers or USB tokens) can be discovered
    // via PCSC List Readers or PCSC Find Smart Cards
    const char *readerName = "Alcor Micro USB Smart Card Reader 0";
    success = scmd.AcquireContext(readerName);
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << scmd.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    CkJsonObject json;
    json.put_EmitCompact(false);

    // ------------------------------------------------------
    // 3. Send Chilkat the JSON returned by GetCardProperties
    // ------------------------------------------------------
    success = scmd.GetCardProperties(json);
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << scmd.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    std::cout << json.emit() << "\r\n";

    // ------------------------------------------------------
    // 4. Send Chilkat the JSON returned by GetCspContainerMap
    // ------------------------------------------------------
    json.Clear();
    success = scmd.GetCspContainerMap(json);
    if (success == false) {
