# Meatspace Password Generator

# Usage
``` $ meatgen --help

Generate passwords from real world phenomena

--wordlist WORDLIST Path to a file container a wordlist
```
The wordlist is also accepted over `STDIN`.
## Wordlist
A wordlist is simple a textfile containing lines in the form of "{KEY}{DELIMITER}{VALUE}\n", this list is parsed at the beginning of execution and used to generate the output.
Any lines not matching this format will simply be ignored.
Typically each password generation technique comes with it's own wordlists. The most well known is [diceware](http://world.std.com/~reinhold/diceware.html), but alternative techniques exist as well, such as [pokerware](https://github.com/skeeto/pokerware).
## Examples
```
$ meatgen --wordlist /home/example-user/Documents/pokerware-formal.txt ACADD ACTCC 3C4CH 5STHS
abide anemia fake peace
$ cat /home/example-user/Documents/pokerware-formal.txt | meatgen ACADD ACTCC 3C4CH 5STHS
