shuffle(1)                  General Commands Manual                 shuffle(1)

NAME
       shuffle - randomly reorder lines in a file

SYNOPSIS
       shuffle [ infile [ outfile ] ]

DESCRIPTION
       shuffle reads infile into memory, shuffles the lines, and writes the
       result to outfile.

OPTIONS
       None.

OPERANDS
       The following operands are supported:

       infile  A path name of an input file.  If no infile is specified, or if
               infile is equal to "-", the standard input is used.

       outfile A path name of an output file.  If no outfile is specified, or
               if outfile is equal to "-", the standard output is used.

NOTES
       Since shuffle reads the input into memory, it may fail on very large
       files.
