# Horeb
[](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/qjcg/horeb)
![Mt. Horeb][mt-horeb]
*"Speaking in tongues via stdout."*
Horeb is a CLI tool for generating random sequences of characters from various
[Unicode blocks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_block).
One source of inspiration for this tool is the [TempleOS](https://templeos.org)
[oracle].
## Install
```sh
go install github.com/qjcg/horeb@latest
```
## Usage
Print 1000 random dominos:
```sh
$ horeb -n 1000 dominos
```
Print 500 random characters drawn from the `emoji`, `geometric` and `math_alnum`
code blocks:
```sh
$ horeb -n 500 emoji geometric math_alnum
```
List all Unicode block names `horeb` knows about along with their corresponding
[codepoint](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_point) ranges:
```sh
$ horeb -l
10100 1013f aegean_nums
10140 1018f ancient_greek_nums
20a0 20cf currency
[...]
```
Dump all characters from all blocks `horeb` knows about:
```sh
$ horeb -L
10100 1013f aegean_nums
