CLI command

skarbiec get

Decrypt one item for its owner, or return one exact text field only.

Invocation#

Shell
skarbiec get <id> [--field <field>]

Purpose#

Decrypt one item for its owner, or return one exact text field only.

Required inputs and options#

  • Requires an item id. --field selects a non-empty exact field name; omitting it requests the canonical decrypted item JSON.

Output and state effects#

  • Prints the full decrypted item as JSON, or writes only the selected text value to stdout. It changes no state.

Refusals#

  • Refuses an empty/control-character field, a missing field, a non-text selected field, a trashed item, or ciphertext the active keyring cannot open.
