secky

SECrets KeYing Rust program to help keying in secrets into file or piped programs.

The program aims to prevent secrets from being accidentally keyed in shell directly for shell history, and also prevent mistakes with the whitespaces being accidentally introduced at the end of the file.

Notes

The program doesn't allow echoing into TTY for stdout unless -f is set.

Press CTRL-D to generate EOF char for ending the text input. You will need to enter it twice if no newline character is entered prior to the EOF char.

Auto-trimming is performed unless trim flags are set.

Run secky --help for more program argument details.
