Awk

# Generate random path-like strings, separated by null characters.
#
# Invocation:
#
# awk -f ./generate.awk -v <variable>=<value> | tr '\0' '\n'
#
# Customizable variables (all default to 0):
# - seed: Deterministic random seed to use for generation
# - count: Number of paths to generate
# - extradotweight: Give extra weight to dots being generated
# - extraslashweight: Give extra weight to slashes being generated
# - extranullweight: Give extra weight to null being generated, making paths shorter
