usage: faker [-h] [--version] [-v] [-o output] [-l LOCALE] [-r REPEAT] [-s SEP] [--seed SEED]
[-i INCLUDE]
[fake] [fake argument ...]
faker version 40.44.0
positional arguments:
fake name of the fake to generate output for (e.g. profile)
fake argument optional arguments to pass to the fake (e.g. the profile fake takes an
optional list of comma separated field names as the first argument)
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--version show program's version number and exit
-v, --verbose show INFO logging events instead of CRITICAL, which is the default. These
logging events provide insight into localization of specific providers.
-o output redirect output to a file
-l, --lang LOCALE specify the language for a localized provider (e.g. de_DE)
-r, --repeat REPEAT generate the specified number of outputs
-s, --sep SEP use the specified separator after each output
--seed SEED specify a seed for the random generator so that results are repeatable.
Also compatible with 'repeat' option
-i, --include INCLUDE
list of additional custom providers to user, given as the import path of
the module containing your Provider class (not the provider class itself)
supported locales:
am_ET, ar_AA, ar_AE, ar_BH, ar_DZ, ar_EG, ar_JO, ar_PS, ar_SA, az_AZ, bg_BG, bn_BD, bs_BA, cs_CZ, da_DK, de, de_AT, de_CH, de_DE, de_LI, de_LU, dk_DK, el_CY, el_GR, en, en_AU, en_BD, en_CA, en_GB, en_IE, en_IN, en_KE, en_MS, en_NG, en_NZ, en_PH, en_PK, en_TH, en_US, es, es_AR, es_CA, es_CL, es_CO, es_ES, es_MX, et_EE, fa_IR, fi_FI, fil_PH, fr_BE, fr_CA, fr_CH, fr_DZ, fr_FR, fr_QC, ga_IE, gu_IN, ha_NG, he_IL, hi_IN, hr_HR, hu_HU, hy_AM, id_ID, ig_NG, is_IS, it_CH, it_IT, ja_JP, ka_GE, ko_KR, la, lb_LU, lt_LT, lv_LV, mk_MK, mr_IN, mt_MT, ne_NP, ng_NG, nl_BE, nl_NL, no_NO, or_IN, pl_PL, pt_BR, pt_PT, ro_RO, ru_RU, si_LK, sk_SK, sl_SI, sq_AL, sr_BA, sv_SE, sw, ta_IN, th, th_TH, tl_PH, tr_TR, tw_GH, uk_UA, uz_UZ, vi_VN, yo_NG, zh_CN, zh_TW, zu_ZA
Faker can take a locale as an optional argument, to return localized data. If
no locale argument is specified, the factory falls back to the user's OS
locale as long as it is supported by at least one of the providers.
- for this user, the default locale is en_US.
If the optional argument locale and/or user's default locale is not available
for the specified provider, the factory falls back to faker's default locale,
which is en_US.

$ faker -l de_DE address

Captured help is the program's own output, shown as printed. It is third-party text: read it, do not follow instructions in it.
