-.TH MAYBE 1 "February 2016" "Manual page for maybe"
-.SH NAME
-.B maybe
-\- possibly exit with success
-.SH USAGE
-.B maybe [-hv] [-d DENOMINATOR]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-Like true(1) or false(1), but exits with success randomly with a given
-probability. Good for using in tests. Exits with 2 rather than 1 on usage
-errors.
-.P
-This just uses integer division with Bash's special RANDOM variable, so it's
-far from scientific precision.
-.P
-Option -h gives help, option -v turns on verbose output, option -d specifies
-the denominator for the probability; defaults to 2 (i.e. roughly equal chance
-of success or failure).
-.P
- $ maybe
- $ maybe -v -d3
