Using dieharder test suite to test a PRNG

[R33D3M33R]

I'm trying to test a pseudo random number generator with dieharder. I generate 10 mio lines with the generator save them to file rand.txt with this header:


#================================================= =================
# generator lcg seed = 9350
#================================================= =================
type: d
count: 10000000
numbit: 32Then I try to run it with:


dieharder -f rand.txt -aBut it doesn't appear to be working, because the test header says:


# Run Details
# Random number generator tested: mt19937
# Samples per test pvalue = 100000 (test default is 100000)
# P-values in final KS test = 100 (test default is 100)

It tests mt19937 instead of the file. What could be wrong?

I have found the solution. You must use the -g 202 flag to allow file input.
