kwalletaskpass — kwallet-based pass-phrase dialog for use with OpenSSH

kwalletaskpass  was  written by mirabilos <m@mirbsd.org> mostly for tarent solutions GmbH.  The idea came
       from an askpass.C file found somewhere on the 'net, with no author information.  Since  it  was  licenced
       less freely, this is a rewrite from scratch; modular and with more functionality, too.

Debian                                          November 19, 2020                              KWALLETASKPASS(1)

kwalletaskpass  is a kwallet- and pinentry-based pass-phrase dialog for use with OpenSSH.  It is intended
       to be called from the ssh-add(1) program and not invoked directly.

       If a passphrase is requested, kwalletaskpass works by first looking up the passphrase in the  KWallet  by
       means of kwalletcli(1); using it if found, then calling kwalletcli_getpin(1) to interactively retrieve an
       answer from the user via pinentry otherwise.  If the user specifies a passphrase, kwalletcli_getpin(1) is
       run  again  to ask if the passphrase should be stored in the KWallet.  Negative answers will be stored in
       the KWallet to avoid being asked each time.  kwalletaskpass uses the KWallet folders  kwalletaskpass  and
       kwalletaskpass-blacklist with matching entry names.

       If anything other than a key passphrase is requested, it is merely relayed to kwalletcli_getpin(1).  Some
       requests  are  known to require a boolean answer and are relayed using the boolean query flag; all others
       are relayed using a PIN query.  ssh(1) accepts either the literal word “yes” (case-insensitively matched)
       or an empty answer (both only when using the OK button) as confirmation.

       There are currently no options.

       DISPLAY   The X11 display to use for child processes.  If this is unset or empty, kwalletcli will not  be
                 called.

       PINENTRY  The pinentry program to use.  The default is inherited from kwalletcli_getpin(1).
