dr_permutate - print randomly permutated arguments or stdin
dr_permutate arguments dr_permutate
When called with arguments, dr_permutate returns its arguments in randomly permutated order, space separated. When called without any arguments, dr_permuate expects a line-oriented file on stdin. It returns the contents of this file, with lines randomly permutated.
Running
$ dr_permutate foo bar baz
could return
bar foo baz
. Running
$ cat <<EOF | dr_permutate foo bar baz
could return
bar foo baz
.

When called without any arguments, stdin is read in core entirely.
The GNU coreutils utility shuf(1) implements the same functionality in a better way, you're probably better off using that.
