sorn

sorn is a CLI tool to generate random strings of length and sleeps for seconds between outputs.

The program is designed to be run from the command line and takes the following arguments:

• --length: The length of the random string to generate.

• --sleep: The number of seconds to sleep between generating random strings.

• --repeat: The number of times to repeat the process of generating a random string and sleeping.

The program uses the clap crate for command line argument parsing. The program uses the rand crate to generate random strings and the std::thread module to sleep.
