  USAGE:           mmgen-walletchk [opts] [infile]
  OPTIONS:
  -h, --help            Print this help message
      --longhelp        Print help message for long options (common options)
  -e, --echo-passphrase Echo passphrases and other user input to screen
  -i, --in-fmt       f  Input from wallet format 'f' (see FMT CODES below)
  -H, --hidden-incog-input-params f,o  Read hidden incognito data from file
                        'f' at offset 'o' (comma-separated)
  -O, --old-incog-fmt   Specify old-format incognito input
  -l, --seed-len     l  Specify wallet seed length of 'l' bits.  This option
                        is required only for brainwallet and incognito inputs
                        with non-standard (< 256-bit) seed lengths.
  -p, --hash-preset  p  Use the scrypt hash parameters defined by preset 'p'
                        for password hashing (default: '3')
  -z, --show-hash-presets Show information on available hash presets
  -P, --passwd-file  f  Get wallet passphrase from file 'f'
  -q, --quiet           Produce quieter output; suppress some warnings
  -r, --usr-randchars n Get 'n' characters of additional randomness from user
                        (min=10, max=80, default=30)
  -v, --verbose         Produce more verbose output


  PASSPHRASE NOTE:

  For passphrases all combinations of whitespace are equal, and leading and
  trailing space are ignored.  This permits reading passphrase or brainwallet
  data from a multi-line file with free spacing and indentation.

  BRAINWALLET NOTE:

  To thwart dictionary attacks, it’s recommended to use a strong hash preset
  with brainwallets.  For a brainwallet passphrase to generate the correct
  seed, the same seed length and hash preset parameters must always be used.
