rsgen
=====
A simple utility which generates pseudorandom strings.
This utility is Unicode-aware, which means that
it understands all the character encodings supported by the iconv
and it can generate files containing the pseudorandom strings made of
pseudorandom characters instead of just pseudorandom bytes.
Available pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs) are:
1. Mersenne twister (as implemented by the randomc library,
http://www.agner.org/random/)
2. random() function
3. /dev/urandom system file
Generated pseudorandom strings can contain either
the user-supplied characters or a continuous subset
of Unicode starting at the character 0x0100.
This application provides a single executable:
rsgen outputs a file containing the desired number
of pseudorandom characters generated using
the specified type of pseudorandom number generator
Requirements:
-------------
For compiling:
C++ compiler and libraries at least partially conforming
to the 2011 ISO C++ standard (C++11), because of:
- the type unsigned long long
and also at least partially conforming to the POSIX.1-2001 standard,
because of:
- function iconv and related stuff
- function getopt and related stuff
Compilation:
------------
It should be as easy as:
make
Usage:
------
Run the compiled executable without any parameters
and follow the provided instructions.
