Options:
    -m LENGTH            Minimum length of the password to be generated (Default: 12)
    -x LENGTH            Maximum length of the password to be generated (Default: 20)
    -n NUMBER            Amount of password to be generated (Default: 6)
    -E CHARS             List of characters to be excluded in the generated password
    -M [LUNSHClunshc]    New style password parameters (upper case: on, lower case: off)
    -L                   Use lower case characters in passwords (Default: on)
    -U                   Use upper case characters in passwords (Default: on)
    -N                   Use numeric characters in passwords (Default: on)
    -S                   Use special characters in passwords (Default: off)
    -H                   Avoid ambiguous characters in passwords (i. e.: 1, l, I, O, 0) (Default: off)
    -C                   Enable complex password mode (implies -L -U -N -S and disables -H) (Default: off)
    -l                   Spell generated passwords in phonetic alphabet (Default: off)
