pub struct EntropyRng { /* private fields */ }
👎 Deprecated since 0.7.0:

use rngs::OsRng instead

Expand description

An interface returning random data from external source(s), provided specifically for securely seeding algorithmic generators (PRNGs).

This is deprecated. It is suggested you use rngs::OsRng instead.

Implementations

Create a new EntropyRng.

This method will do no system calls or other initialization routines, those are done on first use. This is done to make new infallible, and try_fill_bytes the only place to report errors.

Return a bool with a probability p of being true. Read more

Return a bool with a probability of numerator/denominator of being true. I.e. gen_ratio(2, 3) has chance of 2 in 3, or about 67%, of returning true. If numerator == denominator, then the returned value is guaranteed to be true. If numerator == 0, then the returned value is guaranteed to be false. Read more
