50  * random.c:
51  * An improved random number generation package.  In addition to the standard
52  * rand()/srand() like interface, this package also has a special state info
53  * interface.  The initstate() routine is called with a seed, an array of
54  * bytes, and a count of how many bytes are being passed in; this array is then
55  * initialized to contain information for random number generation with that
56  * much state information.  Good sizes for the amount of state information are
57  * 32, 64, 128, and 256 bytes.  The state can be switched by calling the
58  * setstate() routine with the same array as was initiallized with initstate().
59  * By default, the package runs with 128 bytes of state information and
60  * generates far better random numbers than a linear congruential generator.
61  * If the amount of state information is less than 32 bytes, a simple linear
62  * congruential R.N.G. is used.
63  * Internally, the state information is treated as an array of ints; the
64  * zeroeth element of the array is the type of R.N.G. being used (small
65  * integer); the remainder of the array is the state information for the
66  * R.N.G.  Thus, 32 bytes of state information will give 7 ints worth of
67  * state information, which will allow a degree seven polynomial.  (Note: the
68  * zeroeth word of state information also has some other information stored
69  * in it -- see setstate() for details).
70  * The random number generation technique is a linear feedback shift register
71  * approach, employing trinomials (since there are fewer terms to sum up that
72  * way).  In this approach, the least significant bit of all the numbers in
73  * the state table will act as a linear feedback shift register, and will have
74  * period 2^deg - 1 (where deg is the degree of the polynomial being used,
75  * assuming that the polynomial is irreducible and primitive).  The higher
76  * order bits will have longer periods, since their values are also influenced
77  * by pseudo-random carries out of the lower bits.  The total period of the
78  * generator is approximately deg*(2**deg - 1); thus doubling the amount of
79  * state information has a vast influence on the period of the generator.
80  * Note: the deg*(2**deg - 1) is an approximation only good for large deg,
81  * when the period of the shift register is the dominant factor.  With deg
82  * equal to seven, the period is actually much longer than the 7*(2**7 - 1)
83  * predicted by this formula.

88 /*
89  * For each of the currently supported random number generators, we have a
90  * break value on the amount of state information (you need at least this
91  * many bytes of state info to support this random number generator), a degree
92  * for the polynomial (actually a trinomial) that the R.N.G. is based on, and
93  * the separation between the two lower order coefficients of the trinomial.
