.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This program generates a random password, allowing for some tuning of
character distribution.  The password is sent to standard output.
.SS "\s-1OPTIONS\s0"
.IX Subsection "OPTIONS"
.IP "\-l # | \-\-length=#" 4
.IX Item "-l # | --length=#"
The total length of the password.  The default is 9.
.IP "\-d # | \-\-digits=#" 4
.IX Item "-d # | --digits=#"
The minimum number of digits that will appear in the final password.
The default is 2.
.IP "\-c # | \-\-lower=#" 4
.IX Item "-c # | --lower=#"
The minimum number of lower-case characters that will appear in the
final password.  The default is 2.
.IP "\-C # | \-\-upper=#" 4
.IX Item "-C # | --upper=#"
The minimum number of upper-case characters that will appear in the
final password.  The default is 2.
.IP "\-s # | \-\-special=#" 4
.IX Item "-s # | --special=#"
The minimum number of non-alphanumeric characters that will appear in
the final password.  The default is 1.
.IP "\-2 | \-\-distribute" 4
.IX Item "-2 | --distribute"
If specified, password characters will be distributed between the left\-
and right-hand sides of the keyboard.  This makes it more difficult for
an onlooker to see the password as it is typed.
.IP "\-\-nodigits | \-\-no\-digits" 4
.IX Item "--nodigits | --no-digits"
Alias for \-\-digits=0.
.IP "\-\-nolower | \-\-no\-lower" 4
.IX Item "--nolower | --no-lower"
Alias for \-\-lower=0.
.IP "\-\-noupper | \-\-no\-upper" 4
.IX Item "--noupper | --no-upper"
Alias for \-\-upper=0.
.IP "\-\-nospecial | \-\-no\-special" 4
.IX Item "--nospecial | --no-special"
Alias for \-\-special=0.
.SH "BUGS"
.IX Header "BUGS"
.IP "\(bu" 4
While not really a bug, the .pl extension has been added to avoid
conflict with the program of the same name distributed with Expect.
.SH "TODO"
.IX Header "TODO"
.IP "\(bu" 4
For completeness, add user password setting functionality as found in
Expect's \fBmkpasswd\fR\|(1) example.
