NAME

genpw-base64 - Generate random password using base64 characters

VERSION

This document describes version 0.001 of main (from Perl distribution App-genpw-base64), released on 2018-02-20.

SYNOPSIS

Usage:

% genpw-base64 [options] [num]

DESCRIPTION

OPTIONS

* marks required options.

Main options

--len=s, -l

If no pattern is supplied, will generate random alphanum characters with this exact length.

--max-len=s

If no pattern is supplied, will generate random alphanum characters with this maximum length.

--min-len=s

If no pattern is supplied, will generate random alphanum characters with this minimum length.

--num=s, -n

Default value:

1

Output options

--format=s

Choose output format, e.g. json, text.

Default value:

undef
--json

Set output format to json.

--naked-res

When outputing as JSON, strip result envelope.

Default value:

0

By default, when outputing as JSON, the full enveloped result is returned, e.g.:

[200,"OK",[1,2,3],{"func.extra"=>4}]

The reason is so you can get the status (1st element), status message (2nd element) as well as result metadata/extra result (4th element) instead of just the result (3rd element). However, sometimes you want just the result, e.g. when you want to pipe the result for more post-processing. In this case you can use `--naked-res` so you just get:

[1,2,3]

Other options

--help, -h, -?

Display help message and exit.

--version, -v

Display program's version and exit.

COMPLETION

The script comes with a companion shell completer script (_genpw-base64) for this script.

bash

To activate bash completion for this script, put:

complete -C _genpw-base64 genpw-base64

in your bash startup (e.g. ~/.bashrc). Your next shell session will then recognize tab completion for the command. Or, you can also directly execute the line above in your shell to activate immediately.

It is recommended, however, that you install modules using cpanm-shcompgen which can activate shell completion for scripts immediately.

tcsh

To activate tcsh completion for this script, put:

complete genpw-base64 'p/*/`genpw-base64`/'

in your tcsh startup (e.g. ~/.tcshrc). Your next shell session will then recognize tab completion for the command. Or, you can also directly execute the line above in your shell to activate immediately.

It is also recommended to install shcompgen (see above).

other shells

For fish and zsh, install shcompgen as described above.
