go-netrc's Issues

Missing license

What is the license for this code?
Thanks

Add ability to list machines

Not sure what the best interface for this would be - return a list? Return a slice of machines? - but would be nice so I can implement autocompletion in https://github.com/dokku/go-netrc.

Spaces in passwords?

Does the library support spaces in passwords? I haven't figured out how to quote it properly if so.

Shell-unsafe characters in .netrc file are not escaped

Originally reported as https://github.com/gondor/docker-volume-netshare/issues/18:

If I have a password with characters such as $ or % in my .netrc file, docker-volume-netshare does not correctly provide the password to mount.cifs command. I've found that I need to backslash-escape the characters in the .netrc file so that they are safe in the mount command.

docker-volume-netshare uses netrc, and the author responded:

Do you mind filing this with the maintainer of the netrc library? If they are inactive about fixing this I will bring in something else or write our own. Let me know.

Please create a tagged release

Maybe 1.0.0?
