Command Line Arguments
Invoking PasswordSafe with no arguments will cause the
application to prompt you for the combination of the last
database that was opened, or for the combination of a new
databse if noe was opened on the user's machine. It is,
however, possible to modify this by invoking PasswordSafe
as follows:
- pwsafe database
This will open the specified database file, instead of the
last one opened.
- pwsafe -r database
This will open the database in read-only mode.
- pwsafe -e filename
This will prompt the user for a passphrase, and encrypt the
file with a key derived from the passphrase. Note:
The file can be any file. The encrypted file will
have the same name as the original file, with ".PSF"
appended to it.
- pwsafe -d filename
This will prompt the user for a passphrase, and decrypt the
file with a key derived from the passphrase. Note:
This will work only on files that were encrypted by invoking
pwsafe with the '-e' option (see above).
