DESCRIPTION

The `bacon` command generates bacon ipsum text directly from the command line. Bacon ipsum is a type of "lorem ipsum" text that replaces the standard Latin text with meat-related words and phrases. This command is primarily used for placeholder text in websites, documents, and other digital media. It provides a humorous and engaging alternative to traditional filler text. The command downloads bacon ipsum text from an external website, so network connectivity is required for it to function. The amount of bacon ipsum text generated can be controlled via command line arguments, specifying the number of paragraphs and sentences to be output. While simple, it's a fun utility for developers and designers looking to add a unique touch to their mockups.

CAVEATS

The `bacon` command relies on an external website. If the website is unavailable, the command will fail.

INSTALLATION

The `bacon` command is typically installed via a package manager such as `apt` (Debian/Ubuntu) or `yum` (Red Hat/CentOS). The exact installation command depends on your specific distribution.
Example (Ubuntu/Debian): sudo apt install bacon

EXAMPLE USAGE

To generate 3 paragraphs of bacon ipsum text with the default 5 sentences per paragraph:
bacon -p 3

To generate 2 paragraphs with 10 sentences each:
bacon -p 2 -s 10

HISTORY

The history of `bacon` is not well documented. It appears to be a relatively recent and independently developed utility. It is likely intended to be a lighthearted approach to lorem ipsum text generation. Its usage is primary as a fun alternative to more traditional commands or libraries.
