## Command Line Arguments

Invoking PasswordSafe with no arguments will cause the application to prompt you for the combination of the last database that was opened, or for the combination of a new databse if noe was opened on the user's machine. It is, however, possible to modify this by invoking PasswordSafe as follows:

- pwsafe database
  This will open the specified database file, instead of the last one opened.
- pwsafe -r database
  This will open the database in read-only mode.
- pwsafe -e filename
  This will prompt the user for a passphrase, and encrypt the file with a key derived from the passphrase. Note: The file can be any file. The encrypted file will have the same name as the original file, with ".PSF" appended to it.
- pwsafe -d filename
  This will prompt the user for a passphrase, and decrypt the file with a key derived from the passphrase. Note: This will work only on files that were encrypted by invoking pwsafe with the '-e' option (see above).
