valuerandombytesRandom :: IO Word32

Produces an unpredictable four-byte value.

See: randombytes_random()

valuerandombytesUniform

:: Word32
upper limit (exclusive)
-> IO Word32

Produces an unpredictable four-byte value not larger than the argument. This function guarantees a uniform distribution on results, even if the upper limit is not a power of 2.

See: randombytes_uniform()

valuerandombytesBuf

:: Ptr Word8
Out-parameter to fill
-> CSize
How many bytes to generate
-> IO ()
No meaningful return value

Fills a buffer of the given size with unpredictable bytes.

See: randombytes_buf()
