void | ub_systemseed (unsigned int seed) |
Initialize the system randomness. | |
struct ub_randstate * | ub_initstate (unsigned int seed, struct ub_randstate *from) |
Initialize a random generator state for use. | |
long int | ub_random (struct ub_randstate *state) |
Generate next random number from the state passed along. | |
long int | ub_random_max (struct ub_randstate *state, long int x) |
Generate random number between 0 and x-1. | |
void | ub_randfree (struct ub_randstate *state) |
Delete the random state. |
Thread safe random functions.
Similar to arc4random() with an explicit initialisation routine.
void ub_systemseed | ( | unsigned int | seed | ) |
Initialize the system randomness.
Obtains entropy from the system before a chroot or privilege makes it unavailable. You do not have to call this, otherwise ub_initstate does so.
seed,: | seed value to create state (if no good entropy is found). |

Initialize a random generator state for use.
seed,: | seed value to create state contents. (ignored for arc4random). |
from,: | if not NULL, the seed is taken from this random structure. can be used to seed random states via a parent-random-state that is itself seeded with entropy. |

long int ub_random | ( | struct ub_randstate * | state | ) |
Generate next random number from the state passed along.
Thread safe, so random numbers are repeatable.
state,: | must have been initialised with ub_initstate. |
References MAX_VALUE, ub_randstate::rc4, ub_randstate::rc4_ready, and ub_arc4random_stir().

long int ub_random_max | ( | struct ub_randstate * | state, |
long int | x | ||
) |
Generate random number between 0 and x-1.
No modulo bias.
state,: | must have been initialised with ub_initstate. |
x,: | an upper limit. not (negative or zero). must be smaller than 2**31. |

void ub_randfree | ( | struct ub_randstate * | state | ) |
Delete the random state.
state,: | to delete. |
