libmutton was designed to be usable as a library for building other compatible password managers off of. [MUTN](https://github.com/rwinkhart/MUTN) is the official reference CLI password manager, however libmutton can be implemented in many other unique ways.
All functionality in the `core` and `sync` packages are designed to be used in other implementations.
If any functionality in these two packages proves to be difficult to implement in a third-party client, please open an issue so that it can be addressed.
## Build Tags
Custom build tags can (and sometimes must) be used to achieve desired results.

## Required Global Variable Manipulation
- `global.GetPassword` must be set to allow for different types of clients (CLI, GUI, TUI) to prompt for the password in the most appropriate way.
- `crypt.Daemonize`, true by default, determines whether to make use of the RCW daemon for password caching. This may be best to disable for interactive clients.
- `crypt.RetryPassword`, true by default, determines whether the crypt package should verify user-typed passwords and re-prompt if needed. Turn this off to handle this uniquely in the client.
## Required Arguments
- `clipclear`: Should be accepted by all non-interactive CLI libmutton implementations (not required for interactive GUI/TUI implementations). In order to clear the clipboard on a timer, non-interactive libmutton-based password managers call another instance of their executable with the `clipclear` argument (e.g. `mutn clipclear`) with the intended clipboard contents provided via STDIN. If after 30 seconds the clipboard contents have not changed, they are cleared. Please accept a `clipclear` argument that calls `core.ClipClearArgument()`.
- `startrcwd`: Should be accepted by all libmutton implementations making use of the RCW daemon to cache passwords. Please accept a `startrcwd` argument that calls `core.RCWDArgument()`.

## Configuration
libmutton-based password manager clients should all share the same INI configuration file.
