NAME
ssp-edit - edit an entry
SYNOPSIS
ssp edit -e ENTRY OPTION[..]
DESCRIPTION
The edit command allows to edit an existing entry, updating one or more fields at a time.
Afterwards, the entry will be shown. This is done by re-opening the database
and processing the entry as via ssp show <entry>
As such, it can serve as a confirmation that the database was successfully
edited.
The edit command does not allow to rename an entry. To do so, refer to the rename command instead.
