I don't think there is a password parameter, and I'd strongly
recommend not doing it even if there was. Many OSes make the
command line parameters of processes available to any local user.
Have you tried piping the password to stdin?

Thank you for the quick answer, Andrew. After thinking about it, I can
see the absolute folly of having something set up the way I requested
and I appreciate you pointing that out. I had not thought about piping
to stdin - never even crossed my mind!
Thanks again!
I recall that there is an option "--passphrase-file", which can be used
to pass the password programatically. Of course, make sure that the file
has secure permissions since it's created (or at least, written to) to
store the password.
