.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
-is a utility to generate TOTP codes on the command\-line.
-You can provide TOTP secret codes either through the standard input or as
-command\-line.
-If you would like to use OTP URIs instead, those are also supported through the
-.Fl u
-option, which enables URI parsing of inputs.
-.Pp
-When working with OTP URIs, metadata regarding the digit length or the duration
-period of TOTP codes is typically contained within the URI, and
-.Nm
-parses and interprets that information for you.
-This is not the case when using raw TOTP secret codes.
-When using TOTP secret codes, it is assumed that TOTP codes are 6 digits long
-with a duration of 30 seconds.
-If you need different defaults you can make use of the
-.Fl d
-and
-.Fl p
-flags.
+is a utility for generating TOTP codes.
+If no
+.Ar secret
+is provided as a command-line argument,
+secret keys are read newline-separated from the standard input.
.Pp
The options are as follows:
.Bl -tag width Ds
.It Fl d , Fl Fl digits Ns = Ns Ar length
-Set the digit length of TOTP codes to
-.Ar length .
-If this flag is not specified, the digit length defaults to 6 digits.
+Specify the length in digits of the generated TOTP codes.
+The default
+.Ar length
+value is 6.
+.It Fl h , Fl Fl help
+Display help information by opening this manual page.
.It Fl p , Fl Fl period Ns = Ns Ar seconds
-Set the duration period of TOTP codes to
-.Ar seconds .
-If this flag is not specified, the duration period defaults to 30 seconds.
-.It Fl u , Fl Fl uri
-Interpret input as OTP URIs instead of raw TOTP secret keys.
+Specify the duration for which the generated TOTP codes are valid.
+The default
+.Ar seconds
+value is 30.

.Sh EXAMPLES
Get TOTP codes for two different secret keys using the standard input:
.Pp
-.Dl $ printf '7KFSJ562KJDK23KD\en7YNEG7J3XBIVYR54' | totp
+.Dl $ printf \(aq7KFSJ562KJDK23KD\en7YNEG7J3XBIVYR54\(aq | totp
.Pp
The same as the above but using command\-line arguments:
.Pp
.Dl $ totp 7KFSJ562KJDK23KD 7YNEG7J3XBIVYR54
.Pp
-Get a TOTP code for an OTP URI:
-.Pp
-.Dl $ totp -u 'otpauth://totp/GitHub:Mango0x45?secret=7YNEG7J3XBIVYR54'
-.Pp
-The same as above, but extract the URI from a QR\-code using
-.Xr zbarimg 1 :
-.Pp
-.Dl $ zbarimg -q qr.png | sed 's/QR-Code://' | totp -u
-.Pp
Generate an 8 digit TOTP code that is valid for 60 seconds:
.Pp
.Dl $ totp -d8 -p60 7KFSJ562KJDK23KD
