EXAMPLES

       Create a new database:
              ylva --init "/path/to/file.db"

       Open and decrypt database:
              ylva --decrypt "/path/to/existing/file.db"

       Close and encrypt database:
              ylva --encrypt

       Ylva  knows  what database is currently active and encrypts it.  Encrypting will ask you to type a master
       passphrase which is used for encryption.

       Add an entry to an open database:
              ylva --add

       If you want to export all entries to a file:
              ylva --show-passwords -A > file.txt

       To show latest 10 entries:
              ylva --show-latest 10

       To show all entries ordered by date
              ylva --show-latest

COLORS

       Ylva supports colored output. To use colors, set an environment  variable  YLVA_COLOR  with  one  of  the
       following value: BLUE, RED, GREEN, YELLOW, MAGENTA, CYAN or WHITE.

DEFAULT USERNAME

       Ylva  supports  settings  default  username  for  entries.  To  enable  it,  set  an environment variable
       YLVA_DEFAULT_USERNAME value to the wanted default.  If you want Ylva to  default  to  an  empty  username
       define YLVA_DEFAULT_USERNAME, but leave it empty.

NOTES

       Ylva  does  not  have  a concept of "change the master password". When you encrypt an open database using
       --encrypt you can type a master password. This password is then  required to decrypt  the  database.  You
       can change the master password every time when you encrypt the database, if you want to.
