     systems.

	    Search for entries

     -F, --regex <search>
	    Search for entries with regular expressions

     -e, --edit <id>
	    Edit entry pointed by id

     -l, --list-entry <id>
	    List entry pointed by id

     -t, --show-latest [count]

     -v, --version
	    Show program version

     -g, --gen-password <length>
	    Generate password

     -q, --quick <search>
	    This is the same as running --show-passwords -f

     -h, --help
	    Show short help and exit

FLAGS
     --auto-encrypt
	    Automatically encrypt after exit

     --show-passwords
	    Show passwords in listings

     --show-qrcode
	    Show data as QR code in --list-entry

     --force--force only works with --init option

EXAMPLES
     Create a new database:
	    ylva --init "/path/to/file.db"

     Open and decrypt database:
	    ylva --decrypt "/path/to/existing/file.db"

     Close and encrypt database:
	    ylva --encrypt

     Ylva knows what database is currently active and encrypts	it.   Encrypting
     will ask you to type a master passphrase which is used for encryption.

     Add an entry to an open database:
	    ylva --add

     If you want to export all entries to a file:
	    ylva --show-passwords -A > file.txt

     To show latest 10 entries:
	    ylva --show-latest 10

     To show all entries ordered by date
	    ylva --show-latest

COLORS
     Ylva  supports  colored  output. To use colors, set an environment variable
     YLVA_COLOR with one of the following value: BLUE, RED, GREEN,  YELLOW,  MA-
     GENTA, CYAN or WHITE.

DEFAULT USERNAME
     Ylva  supports  settings default username for entries. To enable it, set an
     environment variable YLVA_DEFAULT_USERNAME value to the wanted default.  If
     you want Ylva to default to an empty username define YLVA_DEFAULT_USERNAME,
     but leave it empty.

NOTES
     Ylva does not have a concept of "change the master password". When you  en-
     crypt an open database using --encrypt you can type a master password. This
     password is then  required to decrypt the database. You can change the mas-
     ter password every time when you encrypt the database, if you want to.
