Security(1) Keychain-Dump

Pretty much I want to dump my keychain without any GUI interaction, and I know my password. I kinda know the right commands but they don't work right even after countless hours reading man pages.

Welcome, toXic, ~/Desktop : security authorize -C toXic dump-keychain -d
Password:
YES (0) { 2: "-d" , "dump-keychain" }

That's where I'm at right now, doesn't quiet help by dumping anything but it looks like I'm doing something right. If someone could shine some light on this I would be eternally grateful.

Thanks,

Andrew
