Implementation of X where X = Emac's auth-source.

As an example, I will use api.github.com as a API endpoint.

If I use ~/.authinfo.gpg as an auth-sources file. (variable name is auth-sources), I need to add the following to the file where I need to sub value into user-username and user-password.

machine api.github.com login user-name password user-password

auth-source-search is a function that retrieve password from your specify auth-sources file. You can use it as followed. This will output list of property where :secret key has your password as its value.

(apply #'auth-source-search
       (append '(:host "api.github.com" :user "awannaphasch2016^forge") (list :max 1)))
