.TP
.B \fBdiceware\fP
Create a passphrase using defaults. Outputs something like
"\fBWheelDyeHonkCanvasWitsPuck\fP"
.TP
.B \fBdiceware \-d\fP \fI"\-"\fP \fB\-n\fP \fI3\fP
Create a passphrase with three words, separated by dash ("\fI\-\fP"). Results in
something like "\fBWheel\-Dye\-Honk\fP"
.TP
.B \fBdiceware \-\-no\-caps\fP
Create a passphrase without capital words. Creates something like
"\fBwheel\-dye\-honk\fP".
.TP
.B \fBdiceware \-r\fP \fIrealdice\fP
Use real dice to create a passphrase. The program will tell you what to do
(roll dice and tell what numbers appear) and in the end present a
passphrase.
.TP
.B \fBdiceware \-r\fP \fIrealdice\fP \fB\-\-dice\-sides\fP \fI20\fP
Use real dice, as shown above, but this time use dice with 20 faces,
instead of standard, 6\-sided dice.
.TP
.B \fBdiceware mywordlist.txt\fP
Create a passphrase with words from file "mywordlist.txt". The file should
contain one word on each line.
.TP
.B \fBdiceware \-w en_securedrop \-s 2\fP
Create a passphrase with two special chars spread over the generated
passphrase and containing words from wordlist "\fBen_securedrop\fP". This is
one of the wordlists that come included with \fIdiceware\fP\&. Creates something
like:
"\fBPlayaBrigVer{SeesNe\-tsGets\fP".
.TP
.B \fBdiceware \-w en_adjectives en_nouns \-n 2\fP
Create two syntactically meaningful phrases, each one consisting of an
adjective and a noun. Results in something like:
