terms) Tomb provides machine-readable output and interaction via some flags:
flag | function
-------------------- | ------------------------------------------------
--no-color | avoids coloring output to allow parsing
--unsecure-dev-mode | allows giving passwords as argument
--tomb-pwd | specify the key password as argument
--tomb-old-pwd | specify the old key password as argument
--sudo-pwd | specify the sudo password as argument
flag | function
--------------- | ------------------------------------------------
--no-color | avoids coloring output to allow parsing
--unsafe | allows passwords options and cleartext key from stdin
--tomb-pwd | specify the key password as argument
--tomb-old-pwd | specify the old key password as argument
--sudo-pwd | specify the sudo password as argument
-k cleartext | reads the unencrypted key from stdin
Yet please consider that these flags may introduce vulnerabilities as
process table scanning can reveal passwords while such commands are
executing. For passwords in particular the best is always let Tomb
gather them via pinentry.
Yet please consider that these flags may introduce vulnerabilities and
other people logged on the same system can easily log your passwords
while such commands are executing. We only recommend using the
pinentry input for your passwords.
