gen-rand-table - Generate random table
This document describes version 0.050 of gen-rand-table (from Perl distribution App-TableDataUtils), released on 2020-05-29.
Usage:
% gen-rand-table aoaos [--format=name] [--json] [--(no)naked-res] [--page-result[=program]] [--view-result[=program]] [num_rows] [num_columns] % gen-rand-table aohos [--format=name] [--json] [--(no)naked-res] [--page-result[=program]] [--view-result[=program]] [num_rows] [num_columns] % gen-rand-table aos [--format=name] [--json] [--(no)naked-res] [--page-result[=program]] [--view-result[=program]] [num_elems] % gen-rand-table hash [--format=name] [--json] [--(no)naked-res] [--page-result[=program]] [--view-result[=program]] [num_keys]
Generate array of (array of scalars) with random values.
Generate array of (hash of scalars) with random values.
Generate array of scalars with random values.
Generate hash with random keys/values.
* marks required options.
*
Choose output format, e.g. json, text.
Default value:
undef
Display help message and exit.
Set output format to json.
When outputing as JSON, strip result envelope.
0
By default, when outputing as JSON, the full enveloped result is returned, e.g.:
[200,"OK",[1,2,3],{"func.extra"=>4}]
The reason is so you can get the status (1st element), status message (2nd element) as well as result metadata/extra result (4th element) instead of just the result (3rd element). However, sometimes you want just the result, e.g. when you want to pipe the result for more post-processing. In this case you can use `--naked-res` so you just get:
[1,2,3]
Filter output through a pager.
List available subcommands.
Display program's version and exit.
View output using a viewer.
Number of columns.
3
Number of rows.
10
Number of elements.
Number of keys.
This script has shell tab completion capability with support for several shells.
To activate bash completion for this script, put:
complete -C gen-rand-table gen-rand-table
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 modules using cpanm-shcompgen which can activate shell completion for scripts immediately.
To activate tcsh completion for this script, put:
complete gen-rand-table 'p/*/`gen-rand-table`/'
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).
For fish and zsh, install shcompgen as described above.
