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 writeanything, and simply exits with a random exit value of 0 todenominator-1, inclusive.

−r’ The −r option guarantees that the output is unbuffered.
