RandomSeed( <flag> )

Description
Generator a cryptographically strong random number for use as a seed.
Parameters
flag
Optional; Type of random number to generate.
0 = Generate a random unsigned Int32 1 = Generate a random unsigned Int64
Default: 0
Return Value
Success: Returns a cryptographically strong random number.
Failure: Return null.
Remarks
This uses the the .NET RNGCryptoServiceProvider to do the generating.
You can use the return value for anything that needs a good seed.
This can also be used to generate random numbers but RandomVar() is more generic for that task.
Example
$random = RandomSeed(); // 32 Bit $random = RandomSeed(1); // 64 Bit
