Usage

runepal prints random rune with some info by default:

rnp

  ᛒ (b)
 Berkanan: birch
 Aett: Tyr
 Divination:
  Berkanan, literally birch, is a rune of female energy and 
  fertility. It could tell you that beauty will be faced and
  passion will be experienced. Berkanan encourages to enjoy 
  love, focus maternity and uncover tenderness.

You can print info for a rune of your choice:

rnp othala

  ᛟ (o)
 Othala: heritage, estate, possession
 Aett: Tyr
 Divination:
  Othala stands for home, heritage -- possessions that are   
  not merely materialistic. The rune strongly reflects       
  ancestry and invaluable entities like family, kin, culture.
  The main message of Othala is to maintain your house and   
  cherish the tradition. 

Also, you can list the whole Elder Futhark and output rune data in CSV format.
