`psql` has this feature whereas you can specify a "service file" which contains
username/dbname/password combinations (and other things like host, port, etc.)
for connecting to a Pg db.
The location of the service file can be specified as an environment variable
and can be made to be used just for the current session by doing something like
this:
```PGSERVICEFILE='myservicefile.pg' psql 'service=mydbname' ... ```
and the service file contains something like:
```
[postgres]
host=
port=
dbname=mydbname
user=mydbuser
password=xyz
```
The benefit of this is that you do not specify a password on the command line
and that the service file can be made to be temporary and specific to just one
command, so no system-wide files with passwords, which I prefer personally.
I was wondering if that feature i supported by `osm2pgsql`. I mean I searched
but could not find anything. I know one can specify `--password apassword` or
`-W` to get a password prompt.
thanks a lot for this open source and free software.
