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.

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.

Name

       dadadodo - exterminate all rational thought

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.

Options

dadadodo accepts the following options:

       -c,-countn
              Generate n sentences.

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

       -html  Output HTML instead of plain text.

       -l,-loadfile
              Load compiled data from file (‘-’ for standard input).

       -o,-outputfile
              Save compiled data in file (‘-’ for standard output).

       -p,-pauses
              Delay s seconds between paragraphs.

       -w,-columnscolumns
              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.
