- Randomize the order of lines in a file and output the result:
`shuf {{path/to/file}}`
- Only output the first 5 entries of the result:
`shuf --head-count={{5}} {{path/to/file}}`
- Write the output to another file:
`shuf {{path/to/input}} --output={{path/to/output}}`
- Generate 3 random numbers in the range 1-10 (inclusive):
`shuf --head-count={{3}} --input-range={{1-10}} --repeat`
