17 Write a random permutation of the input lines to standard output.
19 With no FILE, or when FILE is \-, read standard input.
21 Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
23 \fB\-e\fR, \fB\-\-echo\fR
24 treat each ARG as an input line
26 \fB\-i\fR, \fB\-\-input\-range\fR=\fI\,LO\-HI\/\fR
27 treat each number LO through HI as an input line
29 \fB\-n\fR, \fB\-\-head\-count\fR=\fI\,COUNT\/\fR
30 output at most COUNT lines
32 \fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-output\fR=\fI\,FILE\/\fR
33 write result to FILE instead of standard output
