Options are specified by doubled hyphens and their name or by a single
hyphen and the flag character.
The valid "cclass" option keywords are:
 alpha upper lower digit special no-special
 no-alpha no-triplets no-sequence pin alnum two-upper
 two-lower two-digit two-special
 or an integer mask with any of the lower 15 bits set
or you may use a numeric representation. Preceding these with a '!'
will clear the bits, specifying 'none' will clear all bits, and 'all'
will set them all. Multiple entries may be passed as an option
argument list.
The password id should contain a fairly consistent permutation of the URL
you are logging in to. "Fairly" because you may wish to vary your
financial institutions differently than your newspaper, or you may need
multiple credentials for the same domain. Either way, a password id is
formed by surrounding the domain name with unlikely prefixes, suffixes and
punctuations.
Only the passwords for one password id are ever printed. If the command
line contains multiple operands (arguments after the options), then they
are assembled into one password id with space characters separating the
original operands. One password is printed for each seed stored in the
password configuration file.
One password is printed for every configured seed value with a matching
'--shared' option state. Seed values are added by specifying just the
'--tag' and '--text' options, with or without the '--shared' option. When
passwords are printed, the tag is also printed in plain text.
Passwords are changed by specifying the '-r' or '--rehash' option with a
new numeric value. The day this happens will be noted in the password
configuration file and printed in the password header.
Password ids are never stored anywhere.
Please be sure to read the "Warnings" section in the full documentation.
NOTE: the '--load-opts' option is supported by the option processing
library. This program actually prohibits its usage. The password
configuration database is normally found in a standard location. It may be
overridden at invocation time by the '--config-file' option. Using
'--load-opts' on the command line will lead to a conflict error.
