Options

The following options are supported:

-c

Show copyright information.

-h

Print help text.

-i

Do not read the configuration file.

-r rcfile

Read the configuration file specified by rcfile. If this option is not given, the default configuration file read is $HOME/.yapet unless -i is specified.

-s

Disable the check for the owner and file mode when loading files. Without this option, yapet checks password files for having the same owner as the user running yapet and verifies that the file mode is strictly 0600. If one of these conditions are not met, yapet refuses to load the file.
Providing this options disables those checks and yapet will load files with owners other than the process owner of yapet and file modes different from 0600. New files saved while this option is active will have the file mode set according to umask(2).

-S

Enable the check for the owner and file mode when loading files. This option makes yapet to load password files having the owner set to the process owner of yapet and the file mode strictly set to 0600 only. If one of these conditions are not met, yapet refuses to load the file.
New files saved while this option is active will have the file mode set to 0600. This is the default mode.

-t sec

Set the timeout until the screen is locked to sec seconds. The minimum time allowed is 10 seconds. If a smaller value is provided, the timeout will be set to 10 seconds.

Default: 10 min.

-V

Show version of yapet.

filename

The file to open upon invocation of yapet. If the file does not exist, yapet asks whether it should be created. Files created by yapet always have the suffix .pet.

Files

$HOME/.yapet

The per-user configuration file. If existing, options are read from this file but can be overridden by the command line options. Processing of this file can be disabled by invoking yapet with the -i option. Refer to the yapet_config(5) for an explanation of the per-user configuration file.
