NAME

       RIG - Random Identity Generator

USAGE

       rig [ -f | -m ] [ -d datadir ] [ -c num ]

DESCRIPTION

       Rig is a utility that will piece together a random first name, last name, street number and address, along with a geographically consistant
       (ie, they all match the same area) city, state, ZIP code, and area code.

       It is suitable for such applications as feeding the NY times registration page to fend off junk (snail) mail and telemarketers, or for reg-
       istering on BBS's to which you don't wish to reveal your real information.

OPTIONS

       -f, -m Respectively, use female and male names. If neither or both options are selected, RIG uses both female and male names.

       -d datadir
	      Use data files found in datadir. Without this option, the default directory of /usr/share/rig is assumed.

       -c num Output num identities. Default is 1.

FILES

       /usr/share/rig/locdata.idx
       /usr/share/rig/street.idx
       /usr/share/rig/fnames.idx
