SYNOPSIS

Generate 10 lines per second (default):

 % genlines

Generate 100 lines per second:

 % genlines --speed 100

 % genlines --min-speed 20 --max-speed 30

Generate between 0.1 to 10 lines per second. Change speed after between 3 to 10 seconds.

 % genlines --min-speed 0.1 --max-speed 10 \
     --min-change-speed-every 3 --max-change-speed-every 10

DESCRIPTION

TODO

Option to take lines from input or customize lines.

OPTIONS

--speed (num, default: 10)

--min-speed (num)

If this is specified instead of --speed, will set speed to a random number between --min-speed and --max-speed.

--max-speed (num)

If this is specified instead of --speed, will set speed to a random number between --min-speed and --max-speed.

--change-speed-every (num, default: 5)

--min-change-speed-every (num)

If this is specified instead of --change-speed-every, will change speed after a random number of seconds between --min-change-speed-every and --max-change-speed-every.

--max-change-speed-every (num)

If this is specified instead of --change-speed-every, will change speed after a random number of seconds between --min-change-speed-every and --max-change-speed-every.

COMPLETION

This script has shell tab completion capability with support for several shells.

bash

To activate bash completion for this script, put:

 complete -C genlines genlines

in your bash startup (e.g. ~/.bashrc). Your next shell session will then recognize tab completion for the command. Or, you can also directly execute the line above in your shell to activate immediately.

It is recommended, however, that you install shcompgen which allows you to activate completion scripts for several kinds of scripts on multiple shells. Some CPAN distributions (those that are built with Dist::Zilla::Plugin::GenShellCompletion) will even automatically enable shell completion for their included scripts (using shcompgen) at installation time, so you can immadiately have tab completion.

tcsh

To activate tcsh completion for this script, put:

 complete genlines 'p/*/`genlines`/'

in your tcsh startup (e.g. ~/.tcshrc). Your next shell session will then recognize tab completion for the command. Or, you can also directly execute the line above in your shell to activate immediately.

It is also recommended to install shcompgen (see above).

other shells

For fish and zsh, install shcompgen as described above.
