Can be used with the suffices `k`, `M`, or `G` to indicate kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes, respectively. --S, --seed=*seed* +-S, \--seed=*seed* : use the given value to seed the pseudorandom number generator. The generated output stream will be identical for every stream seeded with the same value. The default seed is 1. A seed value of 0 is equivalent to 1. --f, --force +-f, \--force : generate output even if stdout is a tty. (Generating random data to a tty is generally considered ill-advised, but you can do if you really want.) --v, --verbose +-v, \--verbose : print a progress message showing the number of bytes that has been output so far.
