For both init and attach (and even elsewhere where applicable), I'd like to be able to specify the passphrase and key material via the command line and/or the environment. Yes, we have -J/j and -K/k, but they only permit the use of files or standard in. And of course standard in is not an arbitrary file descriptor and as such is only usable once. So it cannot be used with both jay and kay. I use both jay and kay, and want to do so programmatically without blocking on keyboard input. In the current implementation, I cannot achieve this. I'm well aware of all security implications of command line and environment usage. Please offer your consideration of this feature request :) Thanks.
