# mkpass

`mkpass` is a CLI utility to generate passwords from the command\-line.  All
random characters are generated by `/dev/urandom`.

By default passwords are 64 characters long and may contain any printable ASCII
character.  If you would like to specify the password length, you can use the
`-l` command\-line option.  If you would like to specify the set of characters
to use in the password, you can provide a set of characters or a range in the
same form as `tr(1)`.

For example to generate a 40 character long password containing only the numbers
0–9 and the uppercase-characters A–F:

    $ mkpass -l 40 0-9A-F
