Function readSecretData

cli/command/secret/create.go:126–161

500KB readSecretData reads the secret from either stdin or the given fileName. It reads up to twice the maximum size of the secret ([maxSecretSize]), just in case swarm's limit changes; this is only a safeguard to prevent reading arbitrary files into memory.

(in io.Reader, fileName string)
