NAME
festoon - memo writer
SYNOPSIS
festoon
[-p] [-e] [-t] [-sseed] [-z] [length] [percent]
DESCRIPTION
Festoon
prepares a memorandum on any undesired topic, containing
length
sentences (default is 20) and a specified
percent
of manufactured nouns (default is 5), suitable for input to
troff(1).
Options
-p -e -t
(which may be concatenated as
-pet )
create pointless pictures, nonsensical equations and
useless tables, respectively.
-s
can be used to force the random number generator seed,
which is printed out as the organization number in the header
and which is normally assigned randomly.
Re-use of the same seed results in the same memo.
-z
is a debugging aid; it inserts the grammar type of
each sentence fragment in the output stream.
Festoon
is a useful way to test the commands in the "SEE ALSO" section.
A total effect might radically monoarchate this qualitativeness.
SEE ALSO
troff(1),
eqn(1),
pic(1),
tbl(1).
