NAME

   dadadodo - exterminate all rational thought

SYNOPSIS

   dadadodo [ options ] [ input-files ]

DESCRIPTION

   dadadodo  is  a  program  that analyses texts for Markov chains of word
   probabilities and  then  generates  random  sentences  based  on  those
   probabilities.   Sometimes  these sentences are nonsense, but sometimes
   they cut right through to the heart of the  matter  and  reveal  hidden
   meanings.

OPTIONS

   dadadodo accepts the following options:

   -c, -count n
          Generate n sentences.

   -h, -help
          Show summary of options and exit.

   -html  Output HTML instead of plain text.

   -l, -load file
          Load compiled data from file ('-' for standard input).

   -o, -output file
          Save compiled data in file ('-' for standard output).

   -p, -pause s
          Delay s seconds between paragraphs.

   -w, -columns columns
          Format output for a device columns character cells in width.  If
          not specified, the value of the environment variable COLUMNS  is
          used to determine the width.  If that variable is not defined, a
          width of 72 is assumed.

NOTES

   Non-option arguments are input files.  These should be text files,  but
   may be mail folders or HTML.  MIME messages are handled sensibly.  When
   no output file is specified, sentences will be generated from the input
   data  directly.   However,  loading  a  saved  file  is far faster than
   re-parsing the text files each time.

ENVIRONMENT

   COLUMNS
          Determines the width (in character cells) of the output  if  the
          -w,  -columns  option is not used.  If not set, a width of 72 is
          assumed.
