<title>Options</title>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>-b</option></term>
<listitem>
<para>Run in batch mode. This allows the password to be
provided at the command line which can be convenient
but should be used with care because the password will
be visible on the command line and in command
history.</para>

<varlistentry>
<term><option>-c</option></term>
<listitem>
<para>Create a new password file. If the file already
exists, it will be overwritten.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>-D</option></term>
<listitem>
<para>Delete the specified user from the password
file.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>-U</option></term>
<listitem>
<para>This option can be used to upgrade/convert a password
file with plain text passwords into one using hashed
passwords. It will modify the specified file. It does
not detect whether passwords are already hashed, so
using it on a password file that already contains
hashed passwords will generate new hashes based on the
old hashes and render the password file
unusable.</para>
