Location of shuf(1) and shuffle(1) ?

[Paul Procacci]

Not sure about non-GNU versions if that's even a thing, but both shuf and
shuffle are available via pkg.

# pkg search shuf
p5-Algorithm-Numerical-Shuffle-2009110301_1 Shuffle a list
shuf-1.8                       Randomly permute input lines
shuffle-20010603               Produce random permutations
shuffle-db-1.0.r1_1            IPod shuffle database builder


pkg install shuf
or
pkg install shuffle
