[question] is there a command line (open w/ pass) #367

is there a command-line interface? I already figured out that first argument is the keystore,
but is there anyway to provide a keystore password. I'm fine with plain text.

(could not get anything with -h, --h, -help, --help and the documentation cover just GUI).

No, there is no command-line interface.

It is true that you can pass files as parameters to KSE - not only one and not only keystores but any format that KSE supports (like PKCS#8/OpenSSL key files, certificates, CRLs and even signed jar files). That is necessary in order to associate certain file types (for instance keystores) with KSE, so that KSE is opened when you click on those files. It also allows drag and drop on the application icon. But it was not intended to have a CLI for KSE.

I have explained in this comment why it would make no sense: https://github.com/kaikramer/keystore-explorer/issues/62#issuecomment-258132844
