but if spaces are used the entire comment must be enclosed in
double quotes.
Some examples:
-c "This is valid comment"
-c This is invalid comment
This example is invalid because spaces are included without
quotations.
-c "This! is @invalid"

password. If a password is not specified the key will be prompted.
Once encrypted the configuration file cannot be decrypted without
the key. If the key is lost, there is no possibility of recovering the
configuration data.

operands, an error occurs.
