25 ;;; Commentary:
27 ;; Support for random cookie fetches from phrase files, used for such
28 ;; critical applications as emulating Zippy the Pinhead and confounding
29 ;; the NSA Trunk Trawler.
31 ;; The two entry points are `cookie' and `cookie-insert'. The helper
32 ;; function `shuffle-vector' may be of interest to programmers.
34 ;; The code expects phrase files to be in one of two formats:
36 ;; * ITS-style LINS format (strings terminated by ASCII 0 characters,
37 ;; leading whitespace ignored).
39 ;; * UNIX fortune file format (quotes terminated by %% on a line by itself).
41 ;; Everything up to the first delimiter is treated as a comment. Other
42 ;; formats could be supported by adding alternates to the regexp
43 ;; `cookie-delimiter'.
45 ;; strfile(1) is the program used to compile the files for fortune(6).
46 ;; In order to achieve total compatibility with strfile(1), cookie files
47 ;; should start with two consecutive delimiters (and no comment).
49 ;; This code derives from Steve Strassmann's 1987 spook.el package, but
50 ;; has been generalized so that it supports multiple simultaneous
51 ;; cookie databases and fortune files. It is intended to be called
52 ;; from other packages such as yow.el and spook.el.
