.Nd simple password generator
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm hpg
.Op Fl N
.Op Fl lnsu
.Op Fl x Ar length
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility creates passwords of different sizes, between 1 and 2^16 -1 characters. Please note that a
length of <8 is not very secure and should be avoided. For this reason the default password length
is 16 if the command is called without any options. The default entropy contains lower and upper
case letters as well as numbers.
.Bl -tag -width Dsssigfile
.It Fl l
Enables lower case letters.
.It Fl N

.It Fl n
Enables numbers.
.It Fl s
Enables special characters.
.It Fl u

.It Fl x Ar length
Selects the length of the password.
.Sh EXIT STATUS
.Ex -std hpg
.Sh EXAMPLES
