Radical Random Value Generator

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

Radical Random Value Generator 1.6180

Generates arbitrary numbers of uniformly distributed random values.

USAGE:
    randical [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]

FLAGS:
        --buel       Prints either 'Here.' or 'Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend
                     heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31
                     Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.', with equal probability. Not compatible with `-t`
                     or `--bule`.
        --bule       Prints either 'true' or 'false', with equal probability. Not compatible with `-t` or `--buel`.
    -e, --exit       With equal probability, exit with either status 0, like /bin/true, or status 1, like /bin/false.
                     Technically compatible with all other options, but exit status will have no relation to any
                     generated output. Sets default number of values to print 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'.
                                 Possible values are 'b'ool, 'f'loat64, 'U'UIDv4, 'u'nsigned64, and 's'igned64
