Subject: [PATCH v2 02/11] random32: introduce random32_get_bytes() and random32_get_bytes_state()
Date: Sun, 4 Nov 2012 00:43:33 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1351957422-23243-3-git-send-email-akinobu.mita@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1351957422-23243-1-git-send-email-akinobu.mita@gmail.com>
Add functions to get the requested number of pseudo-random bytes.
The difference from get_random_bytes() is that it generates pseudo-random
numbers by random32(). It is fast, suitable for generating random bytes
for testing, and reproducible if random32_get_bytes_state() is used.
