pw-cat: List all available record targets.
$ pw-cat --record --list-targets
try on your machine

The command "pw-cat --record --list-targets" is used to display a list of targets available in a password store. Let's break it down:

  • "pw-cat": This is the main command used to interact with the password store. It is a part of the "pass" password manager utility.

  • "--record": This is an option or flag used with the "pw-cat" command to specify that the command should operate on a single record (password entry). It indicates that you want to view the details of a single entry.

  • "--list-targets": This is another option or flag used with the "pw-cat" command to list the available targets in the password store. In password management systems, a target typically refers to a specific username or account for which a password is stored.

By combining these options, the command "pw-cat --record --list-targets" displays a list of targets (usernames or accounts) for which passwords are stored in the password store.
