This is done because colours cannot +be copied from any regular terminal. + +Passphrases are read from stdin and the rating followed by the passphrase +for each passphrases is written t stdout, and stderr is quited unless the +program files. + +You may want to pipe stdout to `sort -n` to get the strongest passphrase +at the buttom. + +Currently, evaluation based on grammar is not made, so please manually +change that the passphrase you choose does not form a grammatically +correct sentence, and perferablly, not even in part. + |
