License : MIT
Description : Cross-platform utilities for prompting the user for credentials or a
: passphrase, for example to authenticate with a server or read a protected key.
: Includes native programs for MacOS and Windows, hence no 'tcltk' is required.
: Password entry can be invoked in two different ways: directly from R via the
: askpass() function, or indirectly as password-entry back-end for 'ssh-agent' or
: 'git-credential' via the SSH_ASKPASS and GIT_ASKPASS environment variables.
: Thereby the user can be prompted for credentials or a passphrase if needed when
: R calls out to git or ssh.
