[[rl]] is a command-line tool that reads lines from an input file or stdin, randomizes the lines and outputs a specified number of lines. It does this with only a single pass over the input while trying to use as little memory as possible.

==Usage==
> rl --help
Usage: rl [OPTION]... [FILE]...

-c, --count=N select N lines from the file
-r, --reselect lines may be selected multiple times
-o, --output=FILE
send output to file
-d, --delimiter=DELIM
specify line delimiter (one character)
-0, --null set line delimiter to null character
(useful with find -print0)
-n, --line-number

-q, --quiet, --silent
