NAME

wn_true_random_int, wn_true_random_bit - true random num

SYNOPSIS

#include <wn/wnrndt.h>
int wn_true_random_int(void)
int wn_true_random_bit(void)

DESCRIPTION

These routines generate true random numbers by XOR-ing to

gether bits from /usr/spool/news. They are much slower than rou

tines for pseudo-random numbers in wnrnd, and they fail when

/usr/spool/news runs out of bits.
