By default it uses pseudo random dice tosses,\nbut it is also possible to use real dices and enter the numbers by using\nthe option `-t`, which is the most secure way to generate diceware passwords.\n\n\n## Documentation\n\nYou can read the documentation without installing the\nsoftware:\n\n    perldoc dicepwgen.pod\n\nIf it is already installed, you can read the manual page:\n\n    man dicepwgen\n\n## Installation\n\nThis software doesn't have any external dependencies, but\nyou need either BSD make or GNU make installed to build it.\n\nFirst you need to check out the source code. Skip this, if\nyou have already done so:\n\n    git clone git@github.com:TLINDEN/diceware.git\n\nNext, change into the newly created directory 'diceware' and\ncompile the source code:\n\n    cd diceware\n    make\n\nAlthough dicepwgen has an option to specify a dictionary file\non the commandline, there's also a built-in default. This default\ncan be modified during compilation, e.g.:\n\n    make DICTFILE=/usr/local/share/dict/german.txt\n\nTo install, type this command:\n\n    sudo make install\n\nThis will install the binary to `$PREFIX/sbin/dicepwgen` and\nthe manual page to `$PREFIX/man/man1/dicepwgen.1`. You can\nmodify `$PREFIX` during installation time like this:\n\n   make install PREFIX=/opt\n\n\n## Usage\n\n    Usage: dice [-tcfvhd]\n    Options: \n    -t --humantoss            Asks interactively for rolled dices\n    -c --wordcount \u003ccount\u003e    Number of words (default: 4)\n    -f --dictfile \u003cdictfile\u003e  Dictionary file to use (default:\n                              /usr/share/dict/american-english)\n    -l --minlen \u003ccount\u003e       Minimum word len (default: 5)\n    -m --maxlen \u003ccount\u003e       Maximum word len (default: 10)\n    -n --dontjump             Use all words in the dict file, e.g.\n                              if it is an original diceware list   \n    -d --debug                Enable debug output\n    -v --version              Print program version\n    -h -? --help              Print this help screen\n\nIf you want to generate a truly random diceware password, use\nthe option -t. In that case you have to roll physical dices and\nenter the results (dicepwgen will ask you for them).\n\n## Getting help\n\nAlthough I'm happy to hear from dicepwgen users in private email,\nthat's the best way for me to forget to do something.\n\nIn order to report a bug, unexpected behavior, feature requests\nor to submit a patch, please open an issue on github:\nhttps://github.com/TLINDEN/diceware/issues.\n\n## License\n\nThis software is licensed under the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE version 3.\n\n## Author\n\nT.v.Dein \u003ctom AT vondein DOT org\u003e\n\n## Project homepage\n\nhttps://github.com/TLINDEN/diceware\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftlinden%2Fdiceware","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ftlinden%2Fdiceware","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftlinden%2Fdiceware/lists"}
