The helper ;; function `shuffle-vector' may be of interest to programmers. ;; ;; The code expects phrase files to be in one of two formats: ;; ;; * ITS-style LINS format (strings terminated by ASCII 0 characters, ;; leading whitespace ignored). ;; ;; * UNIX fortune file format (quotes terminated by %% on a line by itself). ;; ;; Everything up to the first delimiter is treated as a comment. Other ;; formats could be supported by adding alternates to the regexp ;; `cookie-delimiter'. ;; ;; strfile(1) is the program used to compile the files for fortune(6). ;; In order to achieve total compatibility with strfile(1), cookie files ;; should start with two consecutive delimiters (and no comment). ;; ;; This code derives from Steve Strassman's 1987 spook.el package, but ;; has been generalized so that it supports multiple simultaneous ;; cookie databases and fortune files. It is intended to be called ;; from other packages such as yow.el and spook.el. ;; ;; TO DO: teach cookie-snarf to auto-detect ITS PINS or UNIX fortune(6) ;; format and do the right thing. ;;; Code: ; Randomize the seed in the random number generator.
