NAME
csv2yapet - convert CSV file to YAPET file
SYNOPSIS
csv2yapet [[-c] | [-h] | [-V]] [-p {password}] [-q] [-s {separator}] {src} {dst}
DESCRIPTION
Convert a CSV file src to an YAPET file dst. The default character for delimiting the
fields is ´,´ (comma) unless specified otherwise on the command line by providing the -s
option (refer to the section called “OPTIONS”).
Fields containing the field separator character have to be enclosed in double quotes (").
In order to convert a double quote character it has to be preceded by another double quote
character (see the section called “EXAMPLES”).
The following table describes the fields of the source CSV file as expected by csv2yapet:
Table 1. Source file format
┌────────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────────┐
│ Column # │ YAPET Record Field │ Maximum size in bytes │
├────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────┤
│ 1 │ Record Name │ 127 │
├────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────┤
│ 2 │ Host Name │ 255 │
├────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────┤
│ 3 │ User Name │ 255 │
├────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────┤
│ 4 │ Password │ 255 │
├────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────┤

See the section called “EXAMPLES” for an example CSV file.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-c
Show copyright.
-h

-p password
The password to be used to encrypt the YAPET file. If csv2yapet is invoked without
this option, it will prompt for the password on the standard input.

Enable the quiet mode. No details about errors are reported.
-s separator
Change the default field separator ´,´ (comma) to the single character separator.
OPERANDS
The following operands are required:
src
The source CSV file to be converted. It must be of the format described in Table 1,
“Source file format”.
dst
The resulting YAPET file holding the content of src encrypted. This file must not
exist prior to the conversion process, else csv2yapet will not start the conversion
and abort.
EXAMPLES
Example 1. An example of a CSV file accepted by csv2yapet.
The following example shows an excerpt of a CSV file as accepted for conversion by

Example 2. An example of a CSV file accepted by csv2yapet using double quotes.
The following example shows an excerpt of a CSV file as accepted for conversion by
csv2yapet.
The first line demonstrates how to double quote fields containing the separator character.
The second line shows how to literally convert double quote characters.
"ssh, ftp, and http server",server.example.org,johndoe,secret,Linux machine
