This file may define any options described in passwdqc.conf(5), but only the random and config options are honored by pwqgen. --version Output pwqgen program version and exit. -h, --help Output pwqgen help text and exit.EXIT STATUSpwqgen exits with non-zero status when it encounters invalid config file, invalid option, invalid parameter value, when it fails to obtain enough randomness, and in any case when it fails to generate a passphrase.FILES/etc/passwdqc.conf.SEE ALSOpwqcheck(1), urandom(4), passwdqc.conf(5), pam_passwdqc(8). http://www.openwall.com/passwdqc/AUTHORSThe pam_passwdqc module was written for Openwall GNU/*/Linux by Solar Designer. The pwqgen program was originally written for ALT GNU/*/Linux by Dmitry V. Levin, indirectly reusing code from pam_passwdqc (via libpasswdqc).
