When automating the creation of encrypted containers, the password can
either be given as plaintext on the commandline (--password, which is
unsafe) or is asked interactively (which is not an option for automated
workflows). It would be great, if the password could be read from a
previously created file like:

pwgen -syn 56 1 > /tmp/secure.pw
veracrypt --text --create=/tmp/vol.vc --password-from=/tmp/secure.pw ...

Cheers, Frank
