genRandomBlocking

Fills a buffer with random data. If not enough entropy has been gathered, it will block.

Note that on Mac OS X this method will never block.

alias genRandomBlocking = mir_random_genRandomBlocking
ptrdiff_t genRandomBlocking(ubyte[] buffer)
@nogc nothrow @trusted
ptrdiff_t
genRandomBlocking
()
(
scope ubyte[] buffer
)

Return Value

Type: ptrdiff_t

A non-zero integer if an error occurred.

Examples

ubyte[] buf = new ubyte[10];
genRandomBlocking(buf);

int sum;
foreach (b; buf)
    sum += b;

assert(sum > 0, "Only zero points generated");
