Description Mathieu Lacage 2007-11-09 02:26:32 UTC

It would be really nice if we added a pair of DefaultValue which controlled options such as:
  --PrintGlobalSeed
  --SetGlobalSeed=XXXXXXX

The command line setter is present in ns-3-dev now.  The getter/printer functionality is not directly exported like the original bug report asks for.

How important is --PrintGlobalSeed to you at this point Mathieu?

Michelle privately notes that "that the spirit of the bug report has been addressed (easy way to set and print seeds), but not the letter (no command-line way to print the seeds)".

If someone REALLY wants a command line printer, lets file another bug about that issue.

Closed by RNG API changes merged before ns-3.4.
