NAME

random — 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.
