# pwdgen
Program ``pwdgen`` is a command-line utility designed to generate secure random passwords of a specified length using printable ASCII characters. It offers a simple and effective way to create passwords suitable for various applications, including securing accounts, generating temporary access credentials, or creating cryptographic keys.
## Usage
### Prerequisites
This program requires `Clang` and `Make` to build and run.
### How to Use
1. Clone the repository and navigate to the directory:
```
git clone
cd pwdgen
```
2. Compile the program using a C compiler:
```
make pwdgen
```
3. Run the program:
```
./pwdgen
```
Replace `` with the desired length of the password (an integer).
### Example
Generate password of length 12:
```
$ ./pwdgen 12
v%b82j1Sll+2)V
```
This will output a random password consisting of printable ASCII characters.
### Notes
