This Bash script generates UUIDs and customizable Fake IDs, hashes them with MD5, SHA-256, and SHA-384, and supports output in JSON or colored plain text. It includes logging, dependency checks, error handling, and options for batch generation and custom Fake ID lengths.

# Description:
# This script generates UUIDs and Fake IDs, hashes them using multiple algorithms,
# encodes them in Base64, and outputs the results in either JSON or plain text.
# It supports generating multiple IDs, customizable Fake ID lengths, logging, and
# robust error handling.

Examples:
  Generate a single ID:
    $0
  Generate five IDs:
    $0 -n 5
  Generate three IDs with JSON output:
    $0 -n 3 -o json
  Specify Fake ID length:
