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.
