<para><command>mosquitto_passwd</command> is a tool for managing
password files for the mosquitto MQTT broker.</para>
<para>Usernames must not contain ":". Passwords are stored in a similar
format to
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>crypt</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>

<title>Options</title>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>-b</option></term>
<listitem>
<para>Run in batch mode. This allows the password to be
provided at the command line which can be convenient
but should be used with care because the password will
be visible on the command line and in command
history.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>-c</option></term>
<listitem>
<para>Create a new password file. If the file already
exists, it will be overwritten.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>-D</option></term>
<listitem>
<para>Delete the specified user from the password
file.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>-H</option></term>
<listitem>
<para>Choose the hash to use. Can be one of
<replaceable>sha512-pbkdf2</replaceable> or
<replaceable>sha512</replaceable>. Defaults to
<replaceable>sha512-pbkdf2</replaceable>. The
<replaceable>sha512</replaceable> option is provided for
creating password files for use with Mosquitto 1.6
and earlier.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>-U</option></term>
<listitem>
<para>This option can be used to upgrade/convert a password
file with plain text passwords into one using hashed
passwords. It will modify the specified file. It does
not detect whether passwords are already hashed, so
using it on a password file that already contains
hashed passwords will generate new hashes based on the
old hashes and render the password file
unusable.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>passwordfile</option></term>
<listitem>
<para>The password file to modify.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>username</option></term>
<listitem>
<para>The username to add/update/delete.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>password</option></term>
<listitem>
<para>The password to use when in batch mode.</para>

<title>Exit Status</title>
<para>
mosquitto_sub returns zero on success, or non-zero on error. If
the connection is refused by the broker at the MQTT level, then
the exit code is the CONNACK reason code. If another error
occurs, the exit code is a libmosquitto return value.
