  Description     : unofficial bitwarden command-line client

This is an unofficial command line client for Bitwarden. Although it
does come with its own command line client, this client is limited by
being stateless - to use it, you're required to manually lock and
unlock the client, and pass the temporary keys around in environment
variables, which makes it very difficult to use. This client avoids
this problem by maintaining a background process which is able to hold
the keys in memory, similar to the way that ssh-agent or gpg-agent
work. This allows the client to be used in a much simpler way, with
the background agent taking care of maintaining the necessary state.

----

Bitwarden (or its community version, vaultwarden) are not packaged in
Debian (#1067023), but that shouldn't stop us from having nice things.

This seems like a good enough Rust command-line client that can be
used to talk to bitwarden-compatible servers.

I'd use this instead of the web interface, if it was packaged, but i
don't have much time to work on the packaging.

The source code is also available on github at
https://github.com/doy/rbw and there are binary debian packages in:

https://git.tozt.net/rbw/releases/deb/

... although it's not clear how those were generated.
