This is fully documented in the manpage:
-P Read the password to write from standard input. Currently
… and:
Default mode of operation, that is, unless -P or -p are used, is to read
the password from the Wallet and print it to standard output as-is, with‐
out any trailing newline.
So, you can do something like:
printf '%s' "$password" | kwalletcli -e foo -f bar -P
password=$(kwalletcli -e foo -f bar)
Oh, I see. My problem in understanding how to use kwalletcli stems from
the ambiguity of the word "folder". It can also mean a directory, as in
directory in the filesystem. So what I was doing is:
kwalletcli -e entry -f $PATH_TO_THE_WALLET
Which obviously won't show me an entry.
May I suggest this patch to the man page to disambiguate the meaning of
folder or respectively to make it's context more clear, and to add a
simple example:
$ diff -u kwalletcli.1 kwalletcli.1.patched
