# Jotpass

The `jotpass` utility facilitates generating random passwords suitable for
handwriting. See [this][intro] blog post for an introduction.

[intro]: https://www.skreutz.com/posts/readable-random-passwords-with-jot/

## Usage

Print a random password:

    $ jotpass
    P6ji-4pRZ-Ze7m-q7Bp-Vpye-HCjr-hygF-6TwQ-oRJT-yx6p-SyMB-AwUm

See the manual page for details.

## Dependencies

The `jotpass` utility depends on `ksh(1)`, `jot(1)`, and some base utilities
like `sed(1)`.

On OpenBSD these are included in the default base installation.

On Void Linux you can install the dependencies using `xbps-install(1)`:
follows:

    $ sudo xbps-install -S oksh outils coreutils bc sed

## Installation

    $ ./configure
    $ make
    $ sudo make install
