Member Function Documentation
Fill memory with pseudo-random values.
This is used as the basis for all get and real operations and does not depend on seed entropy.
- Parameters:
-
memory | buffer to fill. |
size | of buffer to fill. |
- Returns:
- number of bytes set.
Get a pseudo-random integer, range 0 - 32767.
- Returns:
- random integer.
Get a pseudo-random integer in a preset range.
- Parameters:
-
min | value of random integer. |
max | value of random integer. |
- Returns:
- random value from min to max.
Get high-entropy random data.
This is often used to initialize keys. This operation may block if there is insufficient entropy immediately available.
- Parameters:
-
memory | buffer to fill. |
size | of buffer. |
- Returns:
- number of bytes filled.
Get a pseudo-random floating point value.
- Returns:
- psudo-random value 0 to 1.
Get a pseudo-random floating point value in a preset range.
- Parameters:
-
min | value of random floating point number. |
max | value of random floating point number. |
- Returns:
- random value from min to max.
Push entropic seed.
- Parameters:
-
buffer | of random data to push. |
size | of buffer. |
- Returns:
- true if successful.
Determine if we have sufficient entropy to return random values.
- Returns:
- true if sufficient entropy.
Create 36 character random uuid string.
- Parameters:
-
string | to write uuid into, must be 37 bytes or more. |
