NAME

       systemd-tty-ask-password-agent - List or process pending systemd password requests

SYNOPSIS

       systemd-tty-ask-password-agent [OPTIONS...] [VARIABLE=VALUE...]

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-tty-ask-password-agent is a password agent that handles password requests of the system, for example for hard disk encryption
       passwords or SSL certificate passwords that need to be queried at boot-time or during runtime.

       systemd-tty-ask-password-agent implements the Password Agents Specification[1], and is one of many possible response agents which answer to
       queries formulated with systemd-ask-password(1).

OPTIONS

       The following options are understood:

       --list
	   Lists all currently pending system password requests.

       --query
	   Process all currently pending system password requests by querying the user on the calling TTY.

       --watch
	   Continuously process password requests.

       --wall
	   Forward password requests to wall(1) instead of querying the user on the calling TTY.

       --plymouth
	   Ask question with plymouth(8) instead of querying the user on the calling TTY.

       --console
	   Ask question on /dev/console instead of querying the user on the calling TTY.

       -h, --help
	   Print a short help text and exit.

       --version
	   Print a short version string and exit.

EXIT STATUS

       On success, 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
