This is from doc/OPTIONS file:
--min-length=N request a minimum candidate length in bytes
--max-length=N request a maximum candidate length in bytes
These options limit the length of candidates that will be tried. In
wordlist mode (after applying rules, if any), a word that is not within
the requested limits will be rejected (not truncated). Most other modes
also honour these settings. For example, you can fully exhaust a short
keyspace with incremental mode with eg. --max-len=4 and then start a
longer session for the rest with --min-length=5, or use one core for
lengths up to 8 and other cores for exact lengths of 9, 10 and so on.
Note: With UTF-8 encoding, non-ASCII characters will use more than one byte.
