    <title>Description</title>
    <para>The <command>pwm</command> utility is a password manager which
    stores passwords and associated metadata in an encrypted database protected
    by a master password.  It offers both a text-based user interface for
    interactive use as well as a non-interactive mode.  The database uses the
    PasswordSafe database version 3 file format and thus provides
    interoperabity with other password managers using the same format.</para>
    <para>After opening an existing database or creating a new one,
    <command>pwm</command> provides commands to create, modify, delete, and
    display password database entries which may be organized in groups.  The
    contents of a field of a given entry can also be piped to an external
    command, e.g. in order to copy the content of the username or password
    field of an entry to the clipboard.</para>
    <para>If specified, <command>pwm</command> will open or create
    <replaceable>database_file</replaceable> instead of the user's default
    database.</para>
    <para><command>pwm</command> must be run with a locale which uses the UTF-8
    character encoding.</para>
    <refsect2>
      <title>Output format</title>
      <para>The <command>show</command> command displays selected fields by
      printing the field name followed by a colon, one or more space characters
      and the field's verbatim content to the standard output stream. Field
      values may contain newlines, non-printable and/or control
      characters.</para>
      <para>The <command>pipe</command> prints the verbatim field content to the
      standard input stream of the given command.</para>
      <para>Error messages are printed to the standard error stream.</para>
    </refsect2>
  </refsect1>
  <refsect1>
    <title>Options</title>
    <para>The following options are supported:</para>
    <variablelist>
      <varlistentry>
        <term>
          <option>-P</option>
          <replaceable>password_file</replaceable>

    <title>Usage</title>
    <para>If stdin is connected to a terminal pwm will run in interactive mode
    and prompt the user for the master password unless
    <replaceable>password_file</replaceable> is specified via the
    <option>-P</option> option. After successfully opening the password
    database the user will be prompted for a command.</para>
    <para>When running in non-interactive mode a file containing the master
    pasword must be specified via the <option>-P</option> option and after
    successfully opening the password database, pwm will execute commands read
    from stdin until either an error occurrs or end-of-file is reached.</para>
    <para><command>pwm</command> operates on a copy of the password database
    in memory, any changes must be explicitly written back to the database
    using the write command.</para>
    <refsect2>
      <title>IDs</title>
      <para>Database entries are referred to by an ID value which is a
      positive integer value that is guaranteed to be unqiue during the run
      time of the pwm utility.</para>
    </refsect2>
    <refsect2>
      <title>Fields</title>
      <para>The following entry fields are supported:
      <simplelist type="vert">
        <member>group</member>
        <member>title</member>
        <member>username</member>
        <member>password</member>
        <member>notes</member>
        <member>url</member>
      </simplelist>
      </para>
      <para>Other, existing fields specified by the PasswordSafe file format
      will be preserved but cannot be displayed or modified.</para>
    </refsect2>
    <refsect2>
      <title>Commands</title>
      <para>Each command must appear on a seperate line terminated by a newline
      character.  The command and its arguments are seperated by whitespace,
      i.e. one or more space or tab characters.  If an argument contains
      whitespace characters it must either be quoted by encosing it in single
      or double quote characters or each whitespace character must be preceded
      by a backslash character.  Arguments quoted with a single or double quote
      character preserve the literal values of all characters with the
      exception of the backslash character which can be used to escape the
      respective quoting character.  Two consecutive backslash characters yield
      a literal backslash within both quoted and unquoted arguments. A line
      must not end in a single backslash character, any other backslash
      characters are ignored.</para>
      <para>If an error occurrs while parsing or executing a command,
      <command>pwm</command> will terminate when running in non-interactive
      mode.  In interactive mode it will print an error message and prompt the
      user for the next command.  The following commands are supported:</para>
