Yes, of course you can. It'll likely get messier the more you try to
imitate dicepassc's behaviour, for example multiple passphrases:
$ time sort -R diceware.asc | head -6 | cut -f2 >/dev/null
0m00.47s real 0m00.45s user 0m00.02s system
$ time dicepassc -d 1024 >/dev/null
0m00.03s real 0m00.02s user 0m00.02s system
Plus you get a tight pledge and explicit_bzero.
I wrote it because I don't want to use physical dice, dont trust some
app written in another scripting language, and wanted to use the OpenBSD
libc.
My intention was also to contribute a little to the OpenBSD ports
ecosystem especially by using pledge etc., but I see there are
reservations to committing it.

Have fun then.
