+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><command>secret-tool</command> is a command line tool that
+ can be used to store and retrieve passwords.</para>
+
+ <para>Each password is stored in an item. Items are uniquely
+ identified by a set of attribute keys and values. When storing
+ a password you must specify unique pairs of attributes names
+ and values, and when looking up a password you provide the same
+ attribute name and value pairs.</para>
+
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Store</title>
+
+ <para>To store a password run <command>secret-tool</command>
+ with the <arg choice="plain">store</arg> argument. You must
+ also specify a label for the passward with the
+ <arg choice="plain">--label</arg> argument. This label will be
+ displayed in the password manager.</para>
+
+ <para>Make sure to pass a unique set of attributes names and
+ values when storing a password. If the attributes match an
+ already existing item, it will be updated instead of creating
+ a new item.</para>
+
+ <para>If invoked from a terminal or tty, then the password to store
+ will be prompted for and only one line will be accepted.</para>
+
+ <para>A password to store can also be piped in via stdin. The
+ password will be the contents of stdin until EOF. If you provide
+ a newline via stdin it will be stored as part of the password.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Lookup</title>
+
+ <para>To lookup a password run <command>secret-tool</command>
+ with the <arg choice="plain">lookup</arg> argument. Specify the
+ same same attribute names and value pairs that you passed when
+ storing the password.</para>
+
+ <para>If multiple items match the attribute provided, then the
+ first password that is already unlocked will be returned. If
+ necessary an item will be unlocked.</para>
+
+ <para>When printing the password to a terminal or tty, an extra
+ newline will be added after the password.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Clear</title>
+
+ <para>To remove a password run <command>secret-tool</command>
+ with the <arg choice="plain">clear</arg> argument. Specify the
+ same attirbute name and value pairs that you passed when
+ storing the password.</para>
+
+ <para>All unlocked items that match the attributes will be
+ removed.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Exit status</title>
+
+ <para>On success 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.</para>
