Description

Synopsis

- replenish :: Int -> [EntropyBackend] -> Ptr Word8 -> IO ()
- data EntropyBackend
- supportedBackends :: [IO (Maybe EntropyBackend)]
- gatherBackend :: EntropyBackend -> Ptr Word8 -> Int -> IO Int

# Documentation

replenish :: Int -> [EntropyBackend] -> Ptr Word8 -> IO () Source #

Refill the entropy in a buffer

Call each entropy backend in turn until the buffer has been replenished.

If the buffer cannot be refill after 3 loopings, this will raise an User Error exception

data EntropyBackend Source #

Any Entropy Backend

supportedBackends :: [IO (Maybe EntropyBackend)] Source #

All supported backends

gatherBackend Source #

Arguments

:: EntropyBackend | An open Entropy Backend
-> Ptr Word8 | Pointer to a buffer to write to
-> Int | number of bytes to write
-> IO Int | return the number of bytes actually written

Gather randomness from an open handle
