random lines from a file or random numbers
SYNOPSIS¶
random |
[ -er
]
[denominator ] |
DESCRIPTION¶
random reads lines from the standard input
and copies them to the standard output with a probability of 1/denominator.
The default value for
denominator is 2.
The options are as follows:
-e- If the
-e option is specified,
random does not read or write anything,
and simply exits with a random exit value of 0 to
denominator-1, inclusive.
-r- The
-r option guarantees that the
output is unbuffered.
