pass-cache

A simple daemon that caches the response from pass my_entry. For use with software that makes frequent calls to pass.

build

gcc passcached.c -o passcached
gcc pass-cache.c -o pass-cache

usage

Start passcached in the background. Use pass-cache instead of pass to retrieve a secret. You will only need to unlock your keyring for the first invocation of pass-cache for a given entry; subsequent requests are served from the cache. The socket used for communication defaults to $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/pass-cache.sock; this can be manually set with PASS_CACHE_SOCK.
