The mcookie --verbose command is used to generate a 128-bit random number, called a magic cookie or session identifier, which is often used for various purposes in Unix-like systems.
When the --verbose option is added, it displays the generated cookie in a more detailed format. The output may include information like the hostname, domain, and creation time of the cookie.
The magic cookie is typically used for authentication and security purposes. It helps to uniquely identify and track a user's session or connection, preventing unauthorized access or tampering. The verbose mode provides additional information about the cookie, which can be useful for debugging and understanding its properties.
