Librclone RPC encryption configuration

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

How could I use the RPC calls from librclone with a encrypted configuration ?

Is there a call to specify the configuration password within a RPC call ?

I saw the options

AskPassword                bool              `config:"ask_password"`
PasswordCommand            SpaceSepList      `config:"password_command"`

But are not very useful/usable

// Package librclone exports shims for library use
//
// This is the internal implementation which is used for C and
// Gomobile libraries which need slightly different export styles.
//
// The shims are a thin wrapper over the rclone RPC.
package librclone

Hi

I add the same problem. The RPC server is created and then answer to RPC calls.
You need first to edit the config with options/set then to do the call
A poor man's job is to use somthing PasswordCommand with ["printf", "--", "thepassword"] to communicate the password
