libwget-random(3) Introduction to Library Functions libwget-random(3)

NAME

libwget-random - Random functions

SYNOPSIS

Functions

INITIALIZER (random_init)
void wget_random_init (void)
void wget_random_exit (void)
int wget_random (void)
void wget_srandom (unsigned int seed)

Detailed Description
This is wrapper code around gnulib's srandom_r() and random_r() with
automatic seeding

Function Documentation
void wget_random_init (void)
Random API initialization, allocating/preparing the internal
resources.

On systems with automatic library constructors, this function doesn't
have to be called explicitly.

This function is not thread-safe.

void wget_random_exit (void)
Random API deinitialization, free'ing all internal resources.

On systems with automatic library destructors, this function doesn't
have to be called explicitly.

This function is not thread-safe.

int wget_random (void)
Returns
Random value between 0 and RAND_MAX

This functions wraps around gnulib's random_r(). It performs a
thread-safe seeding on the first use, if not done before by
wget_srandom();

void wget_srandom (unsigned int seed)
Parameters
seed Value to seed the random generator

This functions wraps around srandom_r() to make a thread-safe seeding
for wget_random().
