30 client for \fBpwmd\fR. Commands are read line-by-line from stdin until an EOF
31 occurs. Element content or value set with the STORE command that contains
32 either newline or tab characters should be base64 encoded. The
34 utility can do this and can make the base64 encoded string on one line
35 with the 'base64 -A' switch.
40 Exit after a command failure.
43 Connect to the specified socket. The default is \fB~/.pwmd/socket\fR.
48 for password retrieval.
