--------------------------+------------------------------
 When Tor's `ControlPort` requires password authentication, `nyx` and `tor-
 prompt` ask it interactively. However, it must be also a way to specify
 the password in a command line or in config file. Earlier it was possible
 with `arm`'s option `startup.controlPassword`, which no longer works with
 `nyx`.
