NAME

- - genrandom, prng – random number generation
- -

SYNOPSIS
- -
- - #include <u.h>
- #include <libc.h>
- #include <mp.h>
- #include <libsec.h> -
- - void genrandom(uchar *buf, int nbytes) -
- - void prng(uchar *buf, int nbytes)

DESCRIPTION
- -
- - Most security software requires a source of random or, at the - very least, unguessable numbers. -
- - Genrandom fills a buffer with bytes from the X9.17 pseudo-random - number generator. The X9.17 generator is seeded by 24 truly random - bytes read via truerand (see rand(3)). -
- - Prng uses the native rand(3) pseudo-random number generator to - fill the buffer. Used with srand, this function can produce a - reproducible stream of pseudo random numbers useful in testing. - -
- - Both functions may be passed to mprand (see mp(3)).
