.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This utility will generate "pet names", consisting of a random combination of an adverb, adjective, and proper name. These are useful for unique hostnames, for instance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The default packaging contains about 2000 names, 1300 adjectives, and 4000 adverbs, yielding nearly 10 billion unique combinations, covering over 32 bits of unique namespace.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As such, PetName tries to follow the tenets of Zooko's triangle. Names are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- human meaningful
|
||
|
|
- decentralized
|
||
|
|
- secure
|
