Description

Command description

As I was working on #17561, I found that there is duplication between the BSD/OSX shuf and the common shuf. This looks to be the same to me - if they are, I'll update the OSX content to link to the same invocation documentation as the common version. If not, we'll need to make sure these are truly differentiated. For now, the other PR should be approved to at least fix the broken links as I dive into whether these are different.
