As far as I understand, a colon ':' in the password does not need to be escaped. Could you clarify what kind of case you are referring to? ________________________________________ 差出人: zam bak <[email protected]> 送信: 2026 年 2 月 18 日 (水曜日) 1:36 宛先: [email protected] <[email protected]> 件名: pg_enc --input-file ability to read from stdin Hello Is it possible to pipe stdin output to pg_end --input-file option by using dash '-' as a placeholder for stdin? https://www.pgpool.net/docs/latest/en/html/pg-enc.html I tried both "echo" and "cat" and am not able to do it.

For the case where credentials are being read in from the file, documentation states that the format should be username1:secretpassword1 username2:secretpassword2 So I was wondering if the colon - if it is a part of the password has to be escaped (because its also a separator between the username and the password) I did try this, for example: username1:secret:password1 username2:secret:password2 ...and it seems to work fine - is this expected? no escaping is needed? > > ________________________________________ > 差出人: zam bak <[email protected]> > 送信: 2026 年 2 月 18 日 (水曜日) 1:36 > 宛先: [email protected] <[email protected]> > 件名: pg_enc --input-file ability to read from stdin > > > Hello > > Is it possible to pipe stdin output to pg_end --input-file option by > using dash '-' as a placeholder for stdin? > https://www.pgpool.net/docs/latest/en/html/pg-enc.html > > I tried both "echo" and "cat" and am not able to do it. > > Example 1: > cat <<'EOF' | pg_enc --update-pass --key-file > /etc/pgpool-II/.pgpoolkey --config-file /etc/pgpool-II/pgpool.conf > --input-file - > username1:secretpassword1 > username2:secretpassword2 > EOF > trying to read key from file /etc/pgpool-II/.pgpoolkey > trying to read username:password pairs from file - > failed to open input_file "-" (No such file or directory) > > Example 2: > echo ' > username1:secretpassword1 > username2:secretpassword2 > ' | pg_enc --update-pass --key-file /etc/pgpool-II/.pgpoolkey > --config-file /etc/pgpool-II/pgpool.conf --input-file - > trying to read key from file /etc/pgpool-II/.pgpoolkey > trying to read username:password pairs from file - > failed to open input_file "-" (No such file or directory) > > > The reason for asking about this is: > * to be able to use pg_enc in scripting setups > * to be able to provide list of usernames/passwords without having to > actually create a file > * to be able to reduce escaping when autogenerated passwords contain > special characters (by echoing literals) > > > P.S. > Documentation also does not mention if colon ':' needs to be escaped > (and how) when password contains colon?? > > > > Thanks > Z... > > > > ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 5+ messages in thread
