Can user provide seed to random generator during read simulation?

It seems like the seed value is fixed for read simulation:

seqrequester/src/seqrequester/simulate.H

Line 59 in 31141c1

uint32 randomSeed = 0;

Is it possible to expose this parameter on the command line interface?

For my use, it would suffice if this seed is generated randomly. Maybe instead of seed value, a command line boolean option to randomly generate the seed will also work for us.

seqrequester/src/seqrequester/simulate.C

Line 449 in 31141c1

if (simPar.randomSeedValid)

Hi Chirag!

Thanks for the gentle push here. I added -seed to everything that uses random values. It was, sadly, only lightly tested - and there was some major refactoring of command line processing done at the same time.
