NAME
ssp-show - show an entry
SYNOPSIS
ssp show OPTION[..] ENTRY
DESCRIPTION
The show command allows to show an existing entry.
You can only show one entry at a time, specifying its full name. It is possible to show multiple entries via pattern matching using the list command (and its --details option). Refer to ssp-list(1) for more.
OPTIONS
-C, --no-comments
Do not export entries' comments.
-e, --escape-comments
Write comments within double-quotes (") and escaped as per the escaping
rules described in ssp(1) for arguments.
-f, --format
Output a list in INI-like format. See FORMAT below for more. Implies --secret
This is mainly intended for exporting data, and is used by the export command.
-S, --secret
Show entries' secrets (as base32-encoded string).
FORMAT
When using --format details of the entry will be shown in an INI-like format, mainly intended for import/export.
You can list more than one entry at a time in the same format using the --format option of the list command and its pattern matching feature.
In order to export all entries from the database, simply use the export
command (which is an alias for list --format).
Therefore, first the name of the entry will be featured within square brackets, denoting a section name. As such, no double-quotes will be used. However, the escaping rules (as described in ssp(1) for arguments) still apply.
Each setting will then be written on a single line, in a name=value form. Here
are the list of names/settings :
algo
Hashing algorithm. Same value as for the --algo option. Refer to ssp-add(1) for more.
digits
Number of digits.
counter
Indicate this is a counter-based password. The value is the next value to be used for said counter.
time
Indicate this is a time-based password. The value is always 1.
precision
The precision for time-based password.
secret
The secret as a base32-encoded string.
comments
Comments associated with the entry, within double-quotes and escaped as per the escaping rules described for arguments in ssp(1).
EXAMPLE
Show entry "foobar" including its secret (but not its comments) :
$ ssp show --no-comm -S foobar
