2. Invoking bogosort
The format for running the bogosort
program is:
| bogosort [option] ... [file] ...
|
If any file is given input is taken from file in stead of standard
input.
bogosort
supports the following options:
- `--nosort'
- `-n'
- Don't check if the output is sorted, just exit after permuting the lines once.
- `--norandom'
- `-r'
- If configured with support for /dev/(u)random don't try to read /dev/(u)random
for seeding rand, ignored otherwise.
- `--seed number'
- `-r'
- Use
number
to seed rand.
- `--output name'
- `-o'
- Write output to
name
instead of standard output.
- `--help'
- `-h'
- Print an informative help message describing the options and then exit.
- `--verbose'
- `-v'
- Output a `.' (dot) to standard error for each permutation of the lines,
and send some non critical error messages to standard error.
- `--version'
- `-V'
- Print the version number of
bogosort
on the standard error output
and then exit.
