Generate password and print to stdout?

[Alan Orth]

Yeah, I've got a shell function that does something with /dev/urandom as
well. I guess I was just trying to clean up my shell's config a bit but
I'll just keep using that function. Here's mine:

< /dev/urandom tr -dc 'A-Za-z0-9!"#$%&'\''()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~' | head
-c 25 ; echo

By the way, pass hasn't used pwgen since the release of 1.7 in February,
2017.

Thanks,
