Thanks. Reading the manual was the first thing I did before posting to the

I'm not sure if this is relevant for the question, but I forgot to mention
that the user enters it's password through a 'dialog --passwordbox'.
I guess my question is: it possible to pipe that into 'doveadm pw' directly
from memory, without using any kind of on-disk temp file?
$ dialog --passwordbox .. | sed p | doveadm pw
with "sed p" you print explicitly (p) and implicitly (default in sed) the input
lines (i.e. whatever dialog returns), so doveadm gets the same line twice, as
required.
Cheers.
