mcookie: Generate a random number, using a specific number of bytes from a file as a seed for the randomness.
$ mcookie --file ${filename} --max-size ${number_of_bytes}
try on your machine

The command "mcookie" is used to generate a random cookie value. A cookie is typically a string or a small piece of text that is sent from a web server to a web browser and stored there. It is used to remember information about the user or track their activities.

In this specific command, the options are as follows:

  • --file ${filename}: This option specifies the name of the file that the generated cookie will be written to. The ${filename} is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual name of the file.
  • --max-size ${number_of_bytes}: This option specifies the maximum size, in bytes, that the generated cookie can be. The ${number_of_bytes} is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the desired maximum size of the cookie.

By using this command, you can generate a random cookie and store it in a file with a maximum size restriction.
