Gather employee names for a company, Example Ltd., and convert each name into an 'flast' username formatted email:
`bridgekeeper.py --company "Example, Ltd." --format {f}{last}@example.com --depth 10 --output example-employees`
Gather employee names and email addresses from search engines and Hunter.io:
`bridgekeeper.py --company "Example, Ltd." --domain example.com --api {API_KEY} --depth 10 --output example-employees`
Convert an already generated list of names to usernames:
`bridgekeeper.py --names names.txt --format {f}{last}@example.com --output example-employees`
Username format examples (BridgeKeeper supports middle names as well as character limited usernames - e.g. only 4 characters of a last name is used):
```
Name: John Adams Smith
{f}{last} > jsmith
{f}{m}.{last} > ja.smith
{f}{last}[4]@example.com > [email protected]
```
