gibberish

Command-line "utility" to spit out gibberish.

Prints random ASCII letters (upper and lower), digits, and punctuation characters. Why? Because an idle terminal looks boring. I added it to my PATH variable and like to keep it running (ironically, on --slow) in a small terminal pane inside VS Code when writing code.

Binary in Releases is compiled for Windows using gcc.exe (MinGW-W64 x86_64-posix-seh, built by Brecht Sanders) 11.2.0 from MinGW-W64 GCC-8.1.0.

Pull requests for other platforms are welcome!

Default (fast): gibberish [--fast]

fast

Slow: gibberish --slow

slow

Usage: gibberish --help

Usage: gibberish [OPTION]
  -f, --fast  Prints strings of length in range [72, 99] before relinquishing control in each iteration.
  -s, --slow  Prints one character and relinquishes control in each iteration.
  -h, --help  Prints this help-text.
Print a stream of random characters from ASCII letters (upper and lower), digits, and punctuation characters.

gibberish.py might actually be slightly more efficient from my anecdotal observations. Probably due to its heavy use of cool Python library functions and my subpar C skills.
