These allow +the password to be obtained from a variety of sources. Both of these +options take a single argument whose format is described below. If no +password argument is given and a password is required then the user is +prompted to enter one: this will typically be read from the current +terminal with echoing turned off. +.PP +Note that character encoding may be relevant, please see +\&\fBpassphrase\-encoding\fR\|(7). +.SH OPTIONS +.IX Header "OPTIONS" +.SS "Pass Phrase Option Arguments" +.IX Subsection "Pass Phrase Option Arguments" +Pass phrase arguments can be formatted as follows. +.IP \fBpass:\fR\fIpassword\fR 4 +.IX Item "pass:password" +The actual password is \fIpassword\fR. Since the password is visible +to utilities (like 'ps' under Unix) this form should only be used +where security is not important. +.IP \fBenv:\fR\fIvar\fR 4 +.IX Item "env:var" +Obtain the password from the environment variable \fIvar\fR. Since +the environment of other processes is visible on certain platforms +(e.g. ps under certain Unix OSes) this option should be used with caution. +.IP \fBfile:\fR\fIpathname\fR 4 +.IX Item "file:pathname" +The first line of \fIpathname\fR is the password. If the same \fIpathname\fR +argument is supplied to \fB\-passin\fR and \fB\-passout\fR arguments then the first +line will be used for the input password and the next line for the output +password. \fIpathname\fR need not refer to a regular file: it could for example +refer to a device or named pipe. +.IP \fBfd:\fR\fInumber\fR 4 +.IX Item "fd:number" +Read the password from the file descriptor \fInumber\fR. This can be used to +send the data via a pipe for example. +.IP \fBstdin\fR 4 +.IX Item "stdin" +Read the password from standard input. +.SH COPYRIGHT +.IX Header "COPYRIGHT" +Copyright 2000\-2020 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
