shuffle randomizes file(s)/stdin, randomly shuffling x inputs to provide n lines of output. If randomizing a file, file contents are replaced.

shuffle package was initially developed to easily facilitate playing media files at random. Examples: ls | shuffle -h 1, shuffle playlist.m3u, etc.

When no FILE, input is standard input and default output is standard output.
When FILE, input is FILE and output is FILE
When -o OUT_FILE, *all* output is placed in OUT_FILE. If OUT_FILE is -, ouput is standard output.
