.Sh DESCRIPTION          \" Section Header - required - don't modify
A simple command line interface which lets you administer Keychains,
manipulate keys and certificates, and do just about anything the
Security framework is capable of from the command line.  New commands
are constantly being added over time.
.Pp
By default
.Nm
will execute the
.Ar command
supplied and report if anything went wrong.
.Pp
If the
.Fl i
or
.Fl p
options are provided,
.Nm
will enter interactive mode and allow the user to enter multiple commands on stdin.  When EOF is read from stdin
.Nm
will exit.
.Pp
Here is a complete list of the options available:
.Bl -tag -width -indent
.It Fl h
If no arguments are specified show a list of all commands.  If arguments are provided show usage for each the specified commands.  This options is basically the same as the
.Nm help
command.
.It Fl i
Run
.Nm
in interactive mode.  A prompt 
.Po
.Li security>
by default
.Pc
will be displayed and the user will be able to type commands on stdin until an EOF is encountered.
.It Fl l
Before
.Nm
exits run
.Dl "/usr/bin/leaks -nocontext"
on itself to see if the command(s) you executed leaks.
.It Fl p Ar prompt
This option implies the
.Fl i
option but changes the default prompt to the argument specified instead.
.It Fl q
Will make
.Nm
less verbose.
.It Fl v
Will make
.Nm
more verbose.

In particular it should someday supersede both the
