From 7624d58953d38612c11496551a855a1aeee7ad24 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vincent Fu Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2023 18:46:07 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] docs: update documentation for randrepeat and allrandrepeat Note that allrandrepeat is an alias for randrepeat and that randrepeat actually sets random seeds for all of fio's main random number generators.
