random
- random
- creates a random channel which absorbs everything written into it and uses
it as a seed for a random number generator. This generator is used to
create a random sequence of bytes when reading from the channel. It is not
possible to seek the channel.
Memory channels created by random provide one additional
option to set or query.
- -delay
?milliseconds?
- A random channel is always writable and readable. This means that
all fileevent-handlers will fire continuously. To avoid starvation
of other event sources the events raised by this channel type have a
configurable delay. This option is set in milliseconds and defaults to
5.
