+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBsecret\-tool\fR
+is a command line tool that can be used to store and retrieve passwords\&.
+.PP
+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\&.
+.SH "STORE"
+.PP
+To store a password run
+\fBsecret\-tool\fR
+with the
+store
+argument\&. You must also specify a label for the passward with the
+\-\-label
+argument\&. This label will be displayed in the password manager\&.
+.PP
+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\&.
+.PP
+If invoked from a terminal or tty, then the password to store will be prompted for and only one line will be accepted\&.
+.PP
+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\&.
+.SH "LOOKUP"
+.PP
+To lookup a password run
+\fBsecret\-tool\fR
+with the
+lookup
+argument\&. Specify the same same attribute names and value pairs that you passed when storing the password\&.
+.PP
+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\&.
+.PP
+When printing the password to a terminal or tty, an extra newline will be added after the password\&.
+.SH "CLEAR"
+.PP
+To remove a password run
+\fBsecret\-tool\fR
+with the
+clear
+argument\&. Specify the same attirbute name and value pairs that you passed when storing the password\&.
+.PP
+All unlocked items that match the attributes will be removed\&.
+.SH "SEARCH"
+.PP
+This command searches for and prints details on matching items in secret service\&. Specify the same attribute and value pairs that you passed in when storing the password\&. You can use the following options:
+.PP
+\fB\-\-all\fR
+.RS 4
+Return all matching results, rather than just the one of the matches\&. Without this option, the first unlocked match returned from the service will be printed\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-\-unlock\fR
+.RS 4
+Unlock items that are locked and then print out their details\&. Without this option, locked items are skipped\&.
+.RE
+.SH "EXIT STATUS"
+.PP
+On success 0 is returned, a non\-zero failure code otherwise\&.
+.SH "EXAMPLES"
+.PP
