NAME

       csv2yapet - convert CSV file to YAPET file

SYNOPSIS

       csv2yapet [[-c] | [-h] | [-V]] [-p {password}] [-q] [-s {separator}] {src} {dst}

DESCRIPTION

       The csv2yapet utility converts a CSV file src to an YAPET file dst. The expected columns and column order of the CSV file is explained in
       the section called "Source File Format".

       For each successfully imported source file record a corresponding YAPET password record will be generated in the resulting file.

       After the successful conversion the file dst can be opened with yapet(1).

       The file suffix .pet is appended to the output file dst if not provided as part of the file path.

       The password either entered on the standard input or provided as command line argument using the -p option is used to encrypt the
       destination file dst and must be used to decrypt the file content when opening the file in yapet(1).

       csv2yapet will not overwrite existing destination files. If the destination file already exists csv2yapet will abort the conversion.

       Errors during the conversion process will be displayed unless the -q option is provided.

   Source File Format
       The source file src to be converted has to be organized as CSV file. The default character for delimiting the fields is ',' (comma) unless
       specified differently on the command line providing the -s option (refer to the section called "OPTIONS").

       Fields containing the field separator character have to be enclosed in double quotes (").

       Double quote characters to be converted literally, has each to be preceded by another double quote character (see the section called
       "EXAMPLES").

       The following table will describe the fields of the source CSV file as expected by csv2yapet:

       Table 1. Source file format
       +---------------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
       |		      Column #				       |				 YAPET record field			  |
       +---------------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
       |			 1				       |				 Name					  |
       +---------------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
       |			 2				       |				 Host					  |
       +---------------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
       |			 3				       |				 Username				  |
       +---------------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
       |			 4				       |				 Password				  |
       +---------------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
       |			 5				       |				 Comment				  |
       +---------------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+

       See the section called "EXAMPLES" for an example CSV file.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -c, --copyright
	   Show the copyright information.

       -h, --help
	   Print a help text.

       -p password, --password password
	   The password to be used to encrypt the YAPET file. If csv2yapet is invoked without this option, it will prompt for the password on the
	   standard input.

       -q, --quiet
	   Enable the quiet mode. No details about errors are reported.

       -s separator, --separator separator
	   Change the default field separator ',' (comma) to the single character separator.

       -V, --version
	   Show the version of csv2yapet.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are required:

       src
	   The source CSV file to be converted. It must be of the format described in the section called "Source File Format".

       dst
	   The resulting YAPET file holding the content of src encrypted. This file must not exist prior the conversion process, else csv2yapet
	   will not start the conversion and abort.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1. An example of a CSV file accepted by csv2yapet.

       The following example shows an excerpt of a CSV file as accepted for conversion by csv2yapet.

       As the second line shows, fields can be blank but the separator may not be omitted.

	   ssh host,host.example.org,johndoe,secret,Linux machine
	   mail account,imap.email.org,john_doe,secret,
	   ...

       Example 2. An example of a CSV file accepted by csv2yapet using double quotes.

       The following example shows an excerpt of a CSV file as accepted for conversion by csv2yapet.

       The first line demonstrates how to double quote fields containing the separator character. The second line shows how to literally convert
       double quote characters.

	   "ssh, ftp, and http server",server.example.org,johndoe,secret,Linux machine
	   mail account,imap.email.org,john_doe,secret,"John ""the Unknown"" Doe"
	   ...

       Example 3. Invoking csv2yapet.

       The following example shows how to invoke csv2yapet in order to convert a CSV file to an YAPET file. If the -s option is not given,
       csv2yapet will ask for a password as shown:

	   $ csv2yapet passwords.csv passwords.pet
	   Please enter the password for passwords.pet:
	   Please re-type the password:

	   passwords.pet successfully created.
	   $

EXIST STATUS

       0
	   No error.

       1
	   Wrong command line arguments provided.

       2
	   The passwords provided on the standard input do not match.

       3
	   The destination file dst already exists.

       4
	   An unexpected error occurred.
