+passwordy
+=========
+
 This module provides functions for generating random strings.
+
+Command line usage:
+
+> passwordy <length> [flags]
+
+length:
+    Integer number of characters, or words when using sentence mode.
+
+# Sentence mode:
+--sentence:
+    If this argument is passed, `length` random words are chosen.
+    Only --separator, --upper, and --lower can be used in sentence mode.
+
+--separator <string>:
+    When using sentence mode, the words will be joined with this string.
+
+# urandom mode:
+--urandom:
+    If this argument is passed, os.urandom is called for cryptographically
+    strong randomness and the password is shown as hex.
+    Only --upper and --lower can be used in urandom mode (though the hex is
+    lowercase by default).
+
+# Normal mode:
+--letters:
+    Include ASCII letters in the password.
+    If none of the other following options are chosen, letters is the default.
+
+--digits:
+    Include digits 0-9 in the password.
+
+--hex
+    Include 0-9, a-f in the password.
+
+--binary
+    Include 0, 1 in the password.
+
+--punctuation
+    Include punctuation symbols in the password.
+
+--upper
+    Convert the entire password to uppercase.
+
+--lower
+    Convert the entire password to lowercase.
