✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the libqthread manual 💖 today's main character is qtimer_fastrand — she generates a quick random number based on the high-resolution timer. no cap. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <qthread/qtimer.h>

long
qtimer_fastrand (void);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: this function returns a quick random number based on the high-resolution timer. like, she's not doing any deep cryptographic soul-searching, she's just grabbing the timer and yeeting a number back at you. it's giving speed, it's giving simplicity. 💅

the return value is between -2^31 and 2^31. that's the whole range, that's the deal, that's periodt. 🌈

ngl if you were hoping for a seeded, reproducible, statistically perfect little number generator... this is not that, bestie. read the description again, she's just quick. 🫶
