bitcoin-cli: arguments privacy
12+
--------------------------------
13+
14+
The RPC command line client gained a new argument, `-stdin`
15+
to read extra arguments from standard input, one per line until EOF/Ctrl-D.
16+
For example:
17+
18+
$ echo -e "mysecretcode\n120" | src/bitcoin-cli -stdin walletpassphrase
19+
20+
It is recommended to use this for sensitive information such as wallet
21+
passphrases, as command-line arguments can usually be read from the process
22+
table by any user on the system.
