speaking just for myself, I find --exclusive a misleading/confusing name
for this option.  I think it would be better to just make this the
default behaviour, no option needed.

suggested updated usage.  I leave the implementation to someone else :-)

  $PROGRAM [show] [--clip,-c] pass-name
      Show existing password and optionally put it on the clipboard.
      If put on the clipboard, it will be cleared in $CLIP_TIME seconds.
      Pass-name can contain wildcards (*) or be a substring.  If it
      matches uniquely, operate on that password file.
