pwman3 - command line password manager

pwman3 [OPTIONS]

pwman3 --help

Pwman3 aims to provide a simple but powerful command line interface for password management. It allows one to store your password in a SQLite database locked by a master password which can be encrypted with different algorithms (e.g AES, Blowfish, DES3, IDEA, etc.).

Display help message and exit.
Read the configuration from FILE instead of the default ~/.pwman3/config.
When using the default SQLite backend, use DATABASE file path to read/store passwords.
Use ALGO to encrypt data. Possible values are: AES , ARC2, ARC4, Blowfish, CAST, DES, DES3, IDEA, RC5. The default encryption algorithm used is AES.
Convert old DB format to version >= 0.4. The database that will be converted is the one found in the config file, or the one given as command line argument.
Use OUTPUT as file path for the newly created database after converting.
