Utility to generate code names, suitable for placeholders of project
names.
## Building
This is a scala-native project. The binary can be built by running
`sbt nativeLink`. Version information is derived from git, with
initial "v" dropped (e.g. the tag v1.2.3 represents version 1.2.3).
### Download
If you are on Linux on an x86_64 platform, a pre-built binary can be
obtained from the GitHub releases page, or with the following
commands:
```
wget https://github.com/jodersky/codename/releases/download/v0.1.0/codename_linux_amd64.xz -O - | unxz - > codename && chmod +x ./codename
```
## Examples
- `codename "A a n"`:
>earnestly rare clown
>very windy yaw
>awful patchy zero
>henceforth catchy graphite
>nonethless furious aleph
>otherwise jumpy route
- `codename "a-n"`
>mellow-gazelle
>united-five
>optuse-joke
- `codename "A a n a a n n"`
>approximately inherent omicron fabulous zillion unit set
## Contributing
Contributions are welcome, especially new words! It's hard to describe
what words should be included, but the rule of thumb is to use words
that generally have a low frequency in English text (although not
necessarily archaic), and that sound interesting when said out loud.
## Usage
Refer to the help message of the utility (`codename --help`) for an
authoritative answer.
```
Usage: codename [OPTIONS...] [SPECIFICATION...]
Generate a random codename according to a specification ("A a n" by default).
Options:
-h, --help show help message
-v, --version show version information
Specification:
SPEC ::= { 'A' | 'a' | 'n' | SEP }
SEP ::= char
where an 'A' is replaced by a random adverb, an 'a' by an adjective and
an 'n' by a noun.
For example, the specification "A-a-n" will produce a code name such as:
"extra-pickled-umbrella"
Multiple specifications may be given, each of which will be printed on a
separate line.
```
