# rand
A random string and number generation utility.
By default, `rand` will output an eight-character string containing characters `a-z0-9`. If any of the source modifiers `-l`, `-u`, `-n`, or `-s` are specified, the source will only include the character types requested. Hide the output with `-b`, which copies the output to the clipboard. The length of the output string can be specified using `-c` without altering the character source.
In password mode (`-p` or `--password`), `rand` will generate a 32-character string from all sources. This mode is equivalent to `rand -lunsbc32`. Password mode will override all other modifiers and send the output to the clipboard for security.
### Usage
