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().
