23 Here is a list of all the functions included in this module :
27 =item C<gsl_qrng_alloc($T, $n)> - This function returns a pointer to a newly-created instance of a quasi-random sequence generator of type $T and dimension $d. The type $T must be one of the constants included in this module.
29 =item C<gsl_qrng_clone($q)> - This function returns a pointer to a newly created generator which is an exact copy of the generator $q.
31 =item C<gsl_qrng_memcpy($dest, $src)> - This function copies the quasi-random sequence generator $src into the pre-existing generator $dest, making $dest into an exact copy of $src. The two generators must be of the same type.
33 =item C<gsl_qrng_free($q)> - This function frees all the memory associated with the generator $q.
35 =item C<gsl_qrng_init($q)> - This function reinitializes the generator $q to its starting point. Note that quasi-random sequences do not use a seed and always produce the same set of values.
37 =item C<gsl_qrng_name($q)> - This function returns a pointer to the name of the generator $q.
39 =item C<gsl_qrng_size($q)> - This function returns the size of the state of generator r from the generator $q. You can use this information to access the state directly.
41 =item C<gsl_qrng_state($q)> - This function returns a pointer to the state of generator r from the generator $q. You can use this information to access the state directly.
47 This module also contains the following constants :
51 =item C<$gsl_qrng_niederreiter_2>
53 =item C<$gsl_qrng_sobol>
55 =item C<$gsl_qrng_halton>
57 =item C<$gsl_qrng_reversehalton>
