## err
|
||
|
||
#### `enum error_number`
|
||
|
||
Standard error codes. All codes other than `err_ok` suggest that the last operation failed.
|
||
|
||
#### `error_number errno`
|
||
|
||
The result of the last operation.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## random
|
||
|
||
A simple and reasonably fast random number generator. Not suitable for cryptographic or simulation uses.
|
||
|
||
#### `word rand_seed`
|
||
|
||
Random number generator state.
|
||
|
||
#### `byte rand()`
|
||
|
||
Get a random byte (0–255) and update the state of the generator.
|
||
|
||
#### `void init_rand_seed()`
|
||
|
||
Initializes the random number generator state.
|
||
This may take a long time, even several frames, depending on the target.
|
||
|
||
Current implementation:
|
||
|
||
* On C64, spends two frames reading noise data from the SID chip.
|
||
|
||
* On Z80, reads the refresh register.
|
||
|
||
* On all other targets, sets the seed to 1.
