NAME
jot - print sequential or random data
SYNOPSIS
jot [ options ] [ reps [ begin [ end [ s ] ] ] ]
DESCRIPTION
Jot is used to print out increasing, decreasing, random, or redundant data, usually
numbers, one per line. The options are understood as follows.
-r Generate random data instead of sequential data, the default.
-b word
Just print word repetitively.
-w word
Print word with the generated data appended to it. Octal, hexadecimal,
exponential, ASCII, zero padded, and right-adjusted representations are possible by
using the appropriate printf(3) conversion specification inside word, in which case
the data are inserted rather than appended.
-c This is an abbreviation for -w %c.
-s string
Print data separated by string. Normally, newlines separate data.
-n Do not print the final newline normally appended to the output.
-p precision
Print only as many digits or characters of the data as indicated by the integer
precision. In the absence of -p, the precision is the greater of the precisions of
begin and end. The -p option is overridden by whatever appears in a printf(3)
conversion following -w.
The last four arguments indicate, respectively, the number of data, the lower bound, the
upper bound, and the step size or, for random data, the seed. While at least one of them
must appear, any of the other three may be omitted, and will be considered as such if
given as -. Any three of these arguments determines the fourth. If four are specified
and the given and computed values of reps conflict, the lower value is used. If fewer
than three are specified, defaults are assigned left to right, except for s, which assumes
its default unless both begin and end are given.
Defaults for the four arguments are, respectively, 100, 1, 100, and 1, except that when
random data are requested, s defaults to a seed depending upon the time of day. Reps is
expected to be an unsigned integer, and if given as zero is taken to be infinite. Begin
and end may be given as real numbers or as characters representing the corresponding value
in ASCII. The last argument must be a real number.
Random numbers are obtained through random(3). The name jot derives in part from iota, a
function in APL.
EXAMPLES
The command
jot 21 -1 1.00
prints 21 evenly spaced numbers increasing from -1 to 1. The ASCII character set is
generated with
jot -c 128 0
and the strings xaa through xaz with
jot -w xa%c 26 a
while 20 random 8-letter strings are produced with
jot -r -c 160 a z | rs -g 0 8
Infinitely many yes's may be obtained through
jot -b yes 0
and thirty ed(1) substitution commands applying to lines 2, 7, 12, etc. is the result of
jot -w %ds/old/new/ 30 2 - 5
The stuttering sequence 9, 9, 8, 8, 7, etc. can be produced by suitable choice of
precision and step size, as in
jot 0 9 - -.5
and a file containing exactly 1024 bytes is created with
jot -b x 512 > block
Finally, to set tabs four spaces apart starting from column 10 and ending in column 132,
use
expand -`jot -s, - 10 132 4`
and to print all lines 80 characters or longer,
grep `jot -s "" -b . 80`
