This crate provides a simple command line utility for randomly selecting N
files from a directory and copying/moving them to a target directory.

`randselect` operates (inefficiently) by generating a random permutation of
the files in a given directory, then moving/copying the first N files in
the resulting permutation to a target directory.

## Install

You can install this with Cargo:

```
$ cargo install randselect
```
