Command Line Reference

usage: dailykey [-h] [--init] [-v] [name]

Produces a key that is based on the date. Each day will produce a different one.

The key is derived from a seed stored in ~/.config/dailykey/config.json.
Run 'dailykey --init' to create the config on first use.

Examples:
  dailykey --init             # Initialise the config with a passphrase
  dailykey                    # Print today's key
  dailykey myname             # Print today's key for "myname"

positional arguments:
  name           Optional name which will give a different key (but consistent
                 per day for that name)

options:
  -h, --help     show this help message and exit
  --init         Initialise the config by deriving a seed from a passphrase
  -v, --version  show program's version number and exit
