- "--minchars ${5}": The flag "--minchars" indicates that you want to set a minimum number of characters for the generated password. The value "${5}" refers to the fifth argument passed to the command. It means that the minimum number of characters will be determined by the value of the fifth argument.
- "--maxchars ${10}": The flag "--maxchars" indicates that you want to set a maximum number of characters for the generated password. The value "${10}" refers to the tenth argument passed to the command. It means that the maximum number of characters will be determined by the value of the tenth argument.
