# Command line usage
This section provides a reference for the various commands and options that are
available in the `lprs` command line tool, and how to use them.
But before we dive into the commands, let's take a look at the `lprs` main
options, which are available for all commands.
```
Options:
-f, --vaults-file <VAULTS_FILE> The vaults json file
-v, --verbose Show the logs in the stdout
-m, --master-password <MASTER_PASSWORD> The master password, or you will prompt it
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print version
```
As you can see, the `lprs` command line tool has a few options that are
available for all commands, which are:
- `-f, --vaults-file <VAULTS_FILE>`: The vaults json file, this is the file
where the vaults are stored. By default, the vaults are stored in the
program's directory, in a directory called `lprs` and the file called
`vaults.lprs`.
- `-v, --verbose`: Show the logs in the stdout, this option is useful for
debugging purposes.
- `-m, --master-password <MASTER_PASSWORD>`: The master password, this is the
password that is used to encrypt and decrypt the vaults, usful for scripting
purposes, otherwise you will be prompted for the master password (which is
better for security reasons)
Now let's take a look at the available commands and how to use them.
- [Adding a vault](commands/add.md)
- [Removing a vault](commands/remove.md)
- [Editing a vault](commands/edit.md)
- [Getting a vault](commands/get.md)
- [Listing all vaults](commands/list.md)
- [Clening the vaults](commands/clean.md)
- [Generating a password](commands/generate-password.md)
- [Importing and exporting vaults](commands/import-export.md)
- [Changing the master password](commands/change-master-password.md)
- [Auto completion](commands/auto-completion.md)

# Adding a vault
## Usage
```
Usage: lprs add [OPTIONS] <NAME>
Arguments:
<NAME>
The name of the vault
Options:
-u, --username <USERNAME>
The username
-s, --service <SERVICE>
The service name. e.g the website url
-n, --note <NOTE>
Add a note to the vault
--totp-hash <HASH_FUNCTION>
The TOTP hash function
[default: sha1]
Possible values:
- sha1: Sha1 hash function
- sha256: Sha256 hash function
- sha512: Sha512 hash function
-p, --password [<PASSWORD>]
The password, if there is no value you will prompt it
-t, --totp-secret [<TOTP_SECRET>]
The TOTP secret, if there is no value you will prompt it
-c, --custom <KEY=VALUE>
Add a custom field to the vault
-f, --force
Force add, will not return error if there is a problem with the args.
For example, duplication in the custom fields and try to adding empty vault
-h, --help
Print help (see a summary with '-h')
-V, --version
Print version
```
So, to add a vault you need to provide a name for the vault, and you can provide
a username, service name, note, password, TOTP secret, and custom fields.
For secrets like the password and TOTP secret, you can provide them as arguments
or you will be prompted for them.
### Custom fields
You can't add a custom field prefixed with `.lprsfield.` because it's reserved
for backwards compatibility.
## Examples
Add a vault:
```sh
lprs add my-vault1 -u my-username -s my-service -n 'My super secret note' \
-p my-password -t 'JFWG65TFKJ2XG5BO' \
-c key1=value1 -c key2=value2
```
Add a vault with a username and a password, but prompt for the password:
```sh
# -p without a value will prompt you for the password
lprs add my-vault2 -u my-username -p
```
Add a vault with a username, a password, and custom fields:
```sh
# The password will be prompted
lprs add my-vault3 -u my-username -p \
-c key1=value1 \
-c 'long key'='long value'
```
## Notes
- You must provide a name for the vault and at least one of the following:
username, password, TOTP secret, or custom fields.
- If you provide a password or TOTP secret as an argument, it will be visible in
the shell history.
- You can use existing vault names, and it will not be overwritten, so if you
edit, get, or remove a vault by its name, it will be the first one found, so
be careful with the names.

# Auto completion
## Usage
```
Usage: lprs completion <SHELL>
Arguments:
<SHELL> Shell to generate completion for [possible values: bash, elvish, fish, powershell, zsh]
Options:
-h, --help Print help
```
The `completion` command generates completion scripts for the specified shell. The output is written to `stdout`, so you can redirect it to a file and source it in your shell configuration file.
## How to use
| Shell | Command to generate completion script | Command location (the file to write the command in) |
|------------|---------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------|
| Bash | `eval "$(lprs completion bash)"` | `~/.bashrc` |
| Elvish | `eval (lprs completion elvish \| slurp)` | `~/.elvish/rc.elv` |
| Fish | `lprs completion fish \| source` | `~/.config/fish/config.fish` |
| Powershell | `Invoke-Expression (& { (lprs completion powershell \| Out-String) })` | run `echo $PROFILE` |
| Zsh | `eval "$(lprs completion zsh)"` | `~/.zshrc` |

The vault to edit, index or name
Options:
-n, --name <NAME>
The new vault name
-u, --username <USERNAME>
The new vault username
-p, --password [<PASSWORD>]
The new password, if there is no value for it you will prompt it

For example, duplication in the custom fields and try to editing nothing
-h, --help
Print help (see a summary with '-h')
-V, --version
Print version
```
To edit a vault you need to provide the index or the name of the vault. If you
provide the index, the vault will be edited by its index, if you provide the
name, the vault will be edited the first vault with the given name.
You can edit the vault name, username, password, service, note, TOTP secret, and
custom fields.
For secrets like the password and TOTP secret, you can provide them as arguments
or you will be prompted for them.
## Custom fields
If you want to add a custom field to the vault, you can use the `-c, --custom`
option, and provide the key-value pair. If you want to delete a custom field,
you can provide the key with an empty value, e.g. `-c key=""`. If the custom
field not exist it will be created, if it's exist it will be updated.
You can't add a new custom field prefixed with `.lprsfield.` because it's
reserved for backwards compatibility.
## Examples
Edit a vault by its index:
```sh
lprs edit 1 -n new-vault-name -u new-username -p new-password -s new-service -o new-note -t new-totp-secret -c key1=value1 -c key2=value2
```
Edit a vault password by its name:
```sh
# You will be prompted for the new password
lprs edit my-vault -p
```
Remove a custom field from a vault by its name:
```sh
lprs edit my-vault -c key1=""
```
## Notes
- The index is one-based (the first vault is 1).

# Installation
Lprs can be installed using the pre-built binaries or by building from source
via `cargo-install` or `cargo build`, by default the lprs will check for
updates, if you don't want this behavior, you can disable it by passing the
`--no-default-features` flag to the `cargo-install` or `cargo build` command.
And for pre-built binaries, you will find a binary without `lprs-update-notify`,
this binary will not check for updates.
- [Pre-built binaries](https://git.4rs.nl/awiteb/lprs/releases/latest)
- Install using `cargo-install`: `cargo install lprs`
- Building from source, clone the repository and run `cargo build --release` and
copy the binary from the `target/release` directory.

# Lprs Documentation
Welcome to the Lprs documentation. This documentation is intended to help you
get started with the Lprs command line tool `lprs`, and to provide you with a
reference for the various commands and options that are available.
Lprs is a vault manager that allows you to store and retrieve secrets from a
vault. It is designed to be simple to use, and to provide a secure way to manage
your secrets.
Lprs is not for human use only, it is also designed to be used in scripts as
well.
## Encryption
In Lprs, we use the AES-256 CBC encryption algorithm to encrypt and decrypt the
vaults, we ask you for master password, which is used to encrypt and decrypt the
vaults, the master password will be hashed using SHA-256 and the hash will be
used as the key for the AES-256 CBC encryption algorithm. Also we don't store
the master password anywhere, so you have to remember it.
## Storage
The vaults are stored in the program's directory, in a directory called `lprs`
and the file called `vaults.lprs`.
### File location
The file location is dependent on the operating system you are using, here are
the locations for the different operating systems:
| OS | Location |
|--------|-----------------------------------------------|
| Linux | `$HOME/.local/share/lprs/vaults.lprs` |
| MacOS | `$HOME/Library/Application Support/lprs/vaults.lprs` |
| Windows| `{FOLDERID_LocalAppData}\lprs\vaults.lprs` |
### File format
The list of vaults is stored in encrypted binary format.
## Features
- Auto checks for updates (Can be disabled).
- Passing the master password as an argument and via stdin.
- Changing the master password.
- Generating a passwords.
- Store username, password, service name and notes in a vault.
- Custom fields, you can store any key-value pair in a vault.
- TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) generation. Which can be used to generate
2FA codes.
- Searching for vaults. And list all vaults in json format.
- Importing and exporting encrypted vaults (in json format).
- Importing and exporting from/to Bitwarden json format. (Unencrypted)
- Editing vaults. (The secrets can be passed as arguments or via stdin)
- Deleting vaults.
- Getting single field from a vault. (Useful for scripts)
- Ability to edit, get and remove a vault using its index or name.
- Auto completion for bash, elvish, fish, powershell and zsh
- Ability to import and export vaults with different master passwords. (Useful
for sharing vaults with others)
