random numbers

## NAME

wn\_seed\_random\_number\_generator, wn\_random\_int, wn\_random\_mod\_int, wn\_random\_n\_bits, wn\_random\_bit - random numbers

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include <wn/wnrnd.h>

void wn_seed_random_number_generator(int seed)

int wn_random_int(void)

unsigned int wn_random_mod_int(unsigned int mod)

int wn_random_n_bits(int n)

int wn_random_bit(void)
```

## DESCRIPTION

These routines generate pseudo-random numbers.

**wn\_seed\_random\_number\_generator** seeds using *seed*.

For true random numbers, as oppose to pseudo-random numbers,  see wnrndt.
