Description From Mathieu Lacage 2007-11-09 02:26:32 EDT

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?

------- Comment #2 From Rajib Bhattacharjea 2009-03-13 10:59:44 EDT -------

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.
