This is a very intentional asymmetry. Arguments end up in shell histories and are visible in ps
, they are not a good place for cryptographic secrets, so we restrict identities to being files.
That's a good point. Would it make sense to at least change -i
to -I
?
In retrospect it might have made more sense, but I don't think it's worth the churn of changing it at this point. Also, a -I
without a -i
is confusing, too.
What were you trying to do
Trying to pass a value to identity stored in a variable. At the moment, RECEPIENT supports both
-rR
options and-i
assumes a PATH instead of IDENTITY.What happened
-i flag assumes a PATH.
What am I expecting to happen
