randtype
reads input from either standard input or from a file and outputs each
character or line at random intervals. If multiple files are specified, each
is read in sequence.
OPTIONS
randtype
recognizes the following command line options:
-c ms,mult
For optional use with the -w option, this has the same microsecond and
multiplier value format as the -t option. The default for this option is
specified at compile time.
-d string
Output everything before (left) or after (right) the specified string
immediately. The string must begin with either ',' or '.' which specifies the
direction, left or right, respectively.
-h
Print a summary of the command line options and exit.
-k
Suppress output of the string specified by the dump string option.
-l
Output lines rather than characters. Only the -t and -q options are valid when
using this option, all other options are ignored.
-m int
Generate random mistakes. The int value is how many times to compare and match
the next character and a randomly generated character.
-n chars
Output the specified characters immediately with no random waiting.
-r s1,s2[:...]
Replace the string s1 with string s2. You can specify multiple replacements by
separating them with a ':'.
-q int
Quit the program after this many seconds.
-t ms,mult
This option refines the random delay of output. The value of the argument is
separated by a comma with the first argument being a microsecond and the
second being a multiplier of a random number between 0 and the microsecond. A
character-per-second effect can, for example, be made by setting the
microsecond to 0 and the multiplier to 1000000. The default for this option is
specified at compile time.
-v
Display version information and exit.
-w chars
The inverse of the -n option; this option waits on the specified
characters. Use the -c option to refine the random delay of output.
