This is the automatically generated usage text for gnu-pw-mgr.
The text printed is the same whether selected with the help
option
(‘--help’) or the more-help
option (‘--more-help’). more-help
will print
the usage text by passing it through a pager program.
more-help
is disabled on platforms without a working
fork(2)
function. The PAGER
environment variable is
used to select the program, defaulting to ‘more’. Both will exit
with a status code of 0.

The valid "cclass" option keywords are: alpha upper lower digit special no-special no-alpha no-triplets no-sequence pin alnum two-upper two-lower two-digit two-special or an integer mask with any of the lower 15 bits set or you may use a numeric representation. Preceding these with a '!' will clear the bits, specifying 'none' will clear all bits, and 'all' will set them all. Multiple entries may be passed as an option argument list. The password id should contain a fairly consistent permutation of the URL you are logging in to. "Fairly" because you may wish to vary your financial institutions differently than your newspaper, or you may need multiple credentials for the same domain. Either way, a password id is formed by surrounding the domain name with unlikely prefixes, suffixes and punctuations. Only the passwords for one password id are ever printed. If the command line contains multiple operands (arguments after the options), then they are assembled into one password id with space characters separating the original operands. One password is printed for each seed stored in the password configuration file. One password is printed for every configured seed value with a matching '--shared' option state. Seed values are added by specifying just the '--tag' and '--text' options, with or without the '--shared' option. When passwords are printed, the tag is also printed in plain text. Passwords are changed by specifying the '-r' or '--rehash' option with a new numeric value. The day this happens will be noted in the password configuration file and printed in the password header. Password ids are never stored anywhere. Please be sure to read the "Warnings" section in the full documentation. NOTE: the '--load-opts' option is supported by the option processing library. This program actually prohibits its usage. The password configuration database is normally found in a standard location. It may be overridden at invocation time by the '--config-file' option. Using '--load-opts' on the command line will lead to a conflict error. Please send bug reports to: <bkorb@gnu.org> |
