armnod
Armnod is an anagram for "random"; Armnod is a library for working with random strings.
Each [Armnod] consists of a [SeedChooser], [LengthChooser], and [CharacterChooser] which compose a set of random strings. The SeedChooser picks the element of the set. It may say to stop iterating (enough items have been chosen), it may say to seek to a particular offset in another guacamole generator (there's a finite number of seeds), or it may say to not seek at all (an "infinite" number of strings are possible).
The [SeedChooser] and [LengthChooser] both pull from a [guacamole::Guacamole] stream to
generate the seed and a u32 for the string's length. It's easy to see that when the guac is
positioned at the same point in the stream, the seed and length will be the same.
[CharacterChooser] pulls bytes from the string and maps them to characters to create a string. Essentially mapping the binary data to ASCII data. UTF-8 marginally supported.
Status
Passive development. The warts pulled it from being maintenance track on 2023-09-19
Scope
This library provides the armnod type and an embeddable command-line interface.
Warts
- The [ArmnodOptions] does not create the Armnod instance; it should.
