p

p is a simple random password generator.

Usage

Once p is compiled and added to PATH, you can run commands like the following examples:

p

• Generates a random string of length 40 from lowercase, uppercase, and digits (no symbols or whitespace)

p -l 10

• Specifies a length of 10 (character sets are default)

p -c a*

• Specifies character sets lowercase, uppercase, and symbols. The a* can be any combination of letter and a symbol (ensure any symbols are escaped properly in your terminal).

p -l 30 -c 1*

• Generates a random string of length 30 from digits and symbols. Again the 1% could have just as easily been 2*.

p -l 1 -c a

• Generates a random string of length 1 from lowercase and uppercase.

p -h

• Prints the help output.
