NAME
       hee-pwgen - real cryptographically secure password generator

SYNOPSIS
       hee pwgen [LENGTH]

DESCRIPTION
       Generates  one  random  password  using Python's secrets module (a real
       CSPRNG, not random, which is not cryptographically  secure  and  should
       never  generate  anything credential-shaped). Alphabet is ASCII letters
       and digits.

       Prints directly to stdout -- this is the "just generate one" tool, sep‐
       arate from hee-cred(1)'s sealed-storage path. Pipe the output into hee-
       cred(1)'s interactive prompt yourself if it needs to  be  stored;  this
       tool has no storage of its own.

OPTIONS
       LENGTH Password  length.  Default 20 if omitted. Below 12 prints a real
              warning to stderr but still generates.

EXAMPLES
              hee pwgen
              hee pwgen 24
