NAME
       csv2yapet - convert CSV file to YAPET file

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

DESCRIPTION
       Convert a CSV file src to an YAPET file dst. The default character  for
       delimiting  the fields is ´,´ (comma) unless specified otherwise on the
       command line by providing the -s option (refer to  the  section	called
       “OPTIONS”).

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

       In order to convert a double quote character it has to be  preceded  by
       another double quote character (see the section called “EXAMPLES”).

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

       Table 1. Source file format
       ┌───────────────┬───────────────────────────┬──────────────────────────┐
       │  Column #     │    YAPET Record Field	   │	Maximum	  size	 in   │
       │	       │			   │	bytes		      │
       ├───────────────┼───────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────┤
       │      1	       │    Record Name		   │	127		      │
       ├───────────────┼───────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────┤
       │      2	       │    Host Name		   │	255		      │

       ├───────────────┼───────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────┤
       │      4	       │    Password		   │	255		      │
       ├───────────────┼───────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────┤
       │      5	       │    Comment		   │	511		      │
       └───────────────┴───────────────────────────┴──────────────────────────┘

       See the section called “EXAMPLES” for an example CSV file.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -c
	   Show copyright.

       -h
	   Show help.

       -V
	   Show version.

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

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

OPERANDS
       The following operands are required:

       src
	   The source CSV file to be converted.	 It  must  be  of  the	format
	   described in Table 1, “Source file format”.

       dst
	   The resulting YAPET file holding the content of src encrypted. This
	   file must not exist prior to 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.
	   $

EXIT STATUS
       0
	   No error.

       1
	   Error while parsing command line argument.

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

       3
	   The destination file dst already exists.

       4
	   An unexpected error occurred.
