## DESCRIPTION
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|
|
or the `STDIN` if not supplied.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It accepts an YAML file which can be used to specify parameters like the
|
|
|
|
|
number of rounds for bcrypt and password_config section having the pepper
|
|
|
|
|
value used for the hashing. By default `bcrypt_rounds` is set to **10**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The hashed password is written on the `STDOUT`.
|
|
|
|
|

## FILES
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A sample YAML file accepted by `hash_password` is described below:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
bcrypt_rounds: 17
|
|
|
|
|
password_config:
|
|
|
|

## OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `-p`, `--password`:
|
|
|
|
|
Read the password form the command line if [password] is supplied.
