The command "apg -M SNCL" is a command that uses the "apg" program with the option "-M SNCL". "apg" is a password generator program that generates random passwords.
The option "-M SNCL" is used to define the password requirements for the generated passwords. Here's what each requirement means:
- S: Include special characters in the password. Special characters can be symbols like @#$&!.
- N: Include at least one number in the password.
- C: Include capital letters in the password.
- L: Include lowercase letters in the password.
By specifying "-M SNCL", the command ensures that the generated password will include special characters, at least one number, capital letters, and lowercase letters. This helps create strong and secure passwords that are less prone to being easily guessed or hacked.
