       Write a random permutation of the input lines to
       standard output.

       Mandatory  arguments  to  long  options are mandatory
       for short options too.

       --ee, ----eecchhoo
              treat each ARG as an input line

       --ii,
       ----iinnppuutt--rraannggee=_L_O_-_H_I
              treat each number LO through HI as an input line

       --nn,
       ----hheeaadd--lliinneess=_L_I_N_E_S
              output at most LINES lines

       --oo, ----oouuttppuutt=_F_I_L_E
              write result to FILE instead of standard output

       ----rraannddoomm--ssoouurrccee=_F_I_L_E
              get random bytes from FILE (default /dev/urandom)

       --zz,
       ----zzeerroo--tteerrmmiinnaatteedd
              end lines with 0 byte, not newline
