pwstore-cli
===========
About
-----
This is a simple command line interface to Peter Scott's pwstore
library. It allows
* generation of password hashes from a given password;
* verification that a given password hash match a given password; and
* strengthening a given password hash.
Building and Installing
-----------------------
In most cases you can build and install this program using the regular
cabal commands
$ cabal configure
$ cabal build
$ cabal install
Alternatively, if you wish to build the program such that it uses
`pwstore-purehaskell`, rather than `pwstore-fast` then disable the
"fast" flag. That is, change the configure command to
$ cabal configure -f '-fast'
Examples
--------
This is an example shell session running a few variants of the pwstore
command.
