NAME
ssp-rename - rename an entry
SYNOPSIS
ssp rename ENTRY
NEWNAME
DESCRIPTION
The rename command allows to rename existing entry ENTRY
to NEWNAME
.
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.
EXAMPLES
Rename entry "foo" to "foobar" :
$ spp ren foo foobar
Rename entry "André" (encoded in latin1) to "André" (encoded in UTF8), assuming your current shell/locale is UTF8) :
$ ssp rename '"Andr\xe9"' André
Note that in the above example, prior to renaming ssp would show the entry
as "Andr\xe9"
when using e.g. the list
command.
Such a case of "bad encoding" could potentially happen e.g. when using ssp
on a different system (using a different locale) than when the entry was added.
