=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
rand - generate (pseudo-)random data
|
|
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
B<rand> [[I<from>] I<to>]
|
|
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
B<rand> uses B<openssl> to generate pseudorandom data. Just like B<cat
|
|
/dev/urandom> it generates an infinite amount of data, but it is much
|
|
faster (400 MB/s on hardware from 2013).
|
|
|
|
The quality is lower as there are only 2^256 different tables (this is
|
|
still around the number of atoms in the visible universe).
|
|
|
|
If I<to> is given, numbers will be integers from 0 to I<to>.
|
|
|
|
If I<from> is also given, numbers will be integers from I<from> to I<to>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
=head1 EXAMPLE
|
|
|
|
Overwrite a harddisk with random data:
|
|
|
|
rand >/dev/sda
|
|
|
|
|
|
=head1 EXAMPLE
|
|
|
|
100 random numbers from 1000 to 1999:
|
|
|
|
rand 1000 1999 | head -n 100
