This command is using the shuf
command in Linux to produce a random sample of numbers generated between 1 and 10, with a specified number of repetitions.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
shuf
: This is the actual command that generates random permutations. It can shuffle text or produce random numbers.--head-count=${3}
: This option specifies the number of lines or items to print.${3}
is a placeholder for the third argument passed to the command. So, the actual number of lines/items to print will be determined by the third argument.--input-range=${1-10}
: This option specifies the range of values to choose from. It generates random numbers between the values specified in the${1-10}
range.${1-10}
is a placeholder for a range of numbers from 1 to 10. So, the actual range of values will be determined by the first and second arguments.--repeat
: This option instructsshuf
to repeat the random selection from the input range. This means that the same numbers can be randomly selected multiple times.
