Function Documentation

static void rte_srand ( uint64_t  seedval )

inlinestatic

Seed the pseudo-random generator.

The generator is automatically seeded by the EAL init with a timer value. It may need to be re-seeded by the user with a real random value.

Parameters

seedval

The value of the seed.

static uint64_t rte_rand ( void  )

inlinestatic

Get a pseudo-random value.

This function generates pseudo-random numbers using the linear congruential algorithm and 48-bit integer arithmetic, called twice to generate a 64-bit value.

Returns

A pseudo-random value between 0 and (1<<64)-1.
