プロジェクトの歴史

The official waxandwane page describes cliPSafe as a read-only command-line interface to Password Safe databases, written by Ross Palmer Mohn and licensed under GPLv2. It says the tool works with Password Safe version 3 databases and imports code from Crypt::Pwsafe and Term::Complete with local modifications.

The official download section lists version 1.1 as a 2008-12-08 tarball. A GitHub repository under rpmohn/clipsafe exists with the same project description, a very small commit history, and Perl as the dominant language.

採用の歴史

Adoption appears niche. Homebrew packages version 1.1 from the official waxandwane tarball and reported only dozens of on-request installs over the preceding year. Password Safe's related-projects page lists cliPSafe as the Perl command-line interface for PasswordSafe version 3 databases.

使われ方

Users run `clipsafe [-f dbfname] [rxp]`; if a database path is not supplied, the tool looks in `~/.passwordsafe/preferences.properties` for the most recently used file, then prompts for a path. It prompts for the master password and supports commands such as `ls`, `cg`, `show`, `exit`, and `quit`.

パッケージ好きにとっての重要性

cliPSafe is package-nerd significant mainly as preservation: it keeps a late-2000s Perl CLI path into Password Safe v3 databases available in Homebrew. Its narrow read-only design, CPAN dependencies, and tiny upstream footprint make it a historical utility rather than a broad modern password-manager ecosystem.
