Password entry method, when encrypting/decrypting.

[Articmar]

Please, when encrypting/decrypting with a password, add the ability to pass the password like this -p <password>.
Example:
age -e -p <password> -o “path” “path”,
age -d -p <password> -o “path” “path”.
To make it easier to use the utility in scripts.

Unfortunately, and not because it wasn't asked a million times so far, it appears that age would not get soon any sort of password automation feature. :)

However, for a lengthy discussion about why and possible workarounds, please see discussion #256, and perhaps up-vote it. :)
