[gnukeyring-discuss] keyring-link utility - making it more useful

[Chris G. <ch...@ar...>]

I have a need to extract data from the keyring database on the command
line so I've taken the existing keyring-link utility and have done a
few  simple/trivial changes to make it more useful for my use at
least.  If anyone is interested I'm quite happy to upload this
version.

The changes are basically as follows:-

    Remove the password from the command line arguments leaving only
    the keyring database file name.

    The file name defaults to $HOME/.jpilot/Keys-Gtkr.pdb so you don't
    have to enter it normally.

    When keyring-link is run (I've actually renamed it to kl) it
    prompts 'Key: ' and expects the user to enter an entry name
    followed by a password in the format '<entry>/<password>', if the
    password is correct then just the <entry> is output.

    If you enter '/<password>' the whole database is output.

I've changed the output format a little to suit my needs and have
removed the use of the 'rs_xxx' functions for error output, it just
outputs to stderr.
