GetPass
NAME
GetPass - read a password
SYNOPSIS
PROCEDURE GetPass(prompt: ARRAY OF CHAR; VAR passwd: ARRAY OF CHAR);
DESCRIPTION
If the
stdin
is a terminal,
Getpass
reads a passwd from it;
otherwise,
the file /dev/tty is opened for this purpose.
The string
prompt
is prompted
before the
password
is read into the array
passwd. Normal echoing is disabled.
Instead, for each typed character, some random garbage is echoed.
FILES
