When I want to specify passwords on command line I usually do something
like:
read p
qemu ...,$p
That makes sure it's not stored in the history.
You can as well use read p < afile
If you really don't want to have the string as part of the environment
you can try command substitution...
qemu ...,$(cat afile)
Alike, the real password won't be stored inthe history.
man bash should help :)
