sc_pkcs15_get_pin_info is currently only called from some card drivers 
and the PKCS#11 layer. Unfortunately, the PIN counter is not directly 
visible for the user. You can get request the retry counter (if the card 
supports it) with the following command:

pkcs11-tool -T

Depending on pkcs11-tool's output message the retry counter is as follows:

  * "final user PIN try" -> counter=1
  * "user PIN count low" -> 1<counter<maximum
  * "user PIN locked" -> counter=0

Regards, Frank.
