NAME deepsix - create a new media ID SYNOPSIS deepsix -h -l -t -v [-cCharacters][-iIterations][-pCount] DESCRIPTION When deepsix is run with no arguments it will print out a six digit ID comprised of capital letters and numbers that are helpful when assign- ing an ID such as a media ID, a random password or anything which may require a random strong. Output may be sent via standard output to a file by redirection. Output may be redirected to a file using standard file redirection deepsix > somefile.txt or if you want to append data try deepsix >> somefile.txt You can include -c followed by the number of characters to generate if you want more than six characters or -i and the number of iterations of IDs to create if you want more than one. Include the -l option to allow some lower case characters. Using six digits upper case and numbers results in one in 2,176,782,336 codes. If you enable lower case characters that increases to one in 56,800,236,584 codes. OPTIONS The options are as follows: -c Number of characters to generate (Default is six digits) -h Display Help Text -i Number of the IDs to be created -l Enable Lower Case -p Make the output Pretty by adding hyphens every n characters -t Display runtime timestamp BUGS No Bugs Identified EXAMPLES deepsix -h // Prints the helptext deepsix -v // Prints the version deepsix -l // Enables lower case, not all text will appear in lower case, it only enables it by adding additional symbols deepsix -c10 // output ten random characters - will appear upper case by default unless -l is used deepsix -c10 -l // output ten characters in upper or lower case deepsix -c10 -i10 -p5 // output ten characters separated in two groups of five characters deepsix -c10 -i10 -p5 -l // output ten characters separated in two groups of five characters - each character may appear in upper or lower case. deepsix -c10 -i10 -p5 -l -t // output ten characters separated in two groups of five characters - each character may appear in upper or lower case and then display a runtime timestamp AUTHOR Eric Andresen (andresen.eric@gmail.com)
