2. Invoking bogosort

The format for running the bogosort program is:

 
bogosort [option] ... [file] ...

If any file is given input is taken from file in stead of standard input.

bogosort supports the following options:

`--nosort'
`-n'
Don't check if the output is sorted, just exit after permuting the lines once.

`--norandom'
`-r'
If configured with support for /dev/(u)random don't try to read /dev/(u)random for seeding rand, ignored otherwise.

`--seed number'
`-r'
Use number to seed rand.

`--output name'
`-o'
Write output to name instead of standard output.

`--help'
`-h'
Print an informative help message describing the options and then exit.

`--verbose'
`-v'
Output a `.' (dot) to standard error for each permutation of the lines, and send some non critical error messages to standard error.

`--version'
`-V'
Print the version number of bogosort on the standard error output and then exit.
