Radical Random Value Generator

randical is a simple unix commandline utility to generate a series of random values of varying types. See below for usage and examples.

USAGE:
    randical [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]

FLAGS:
    -e, --exit       Randomly exit with either status 0, like /bin/true, or status 1, like /bin/false. Technically
                     compatible with all other options, but doing so could obscure potential errors. Sets default number
                     of values to print out to 0.
    -h, --help       Prints help information
    -V, --version    Prints version information

OPTIONS:
    -n, --num-vals <NUM_VALS>    Number of random values to print out. Defaults to 1.
    -t, --type <TYPE>            Type of random value to print. Defaults to 'bool', with true represented as '1', and
                                 false as '0'.
                                 Possible values accepted are 'b'ool, 'f'loat64, 'u'nsigned64, and 's'igned64

Some examples:
