Struct rand::OsRng

pub struct OsRng {
    // some fields omitted
}

A random number generator that retrieves randomness straight from the operating system. Platform sources:

• Unix-like systems (Linux, Android, Mac OSX): read directly from /dev/urandom, or from getrandom(2) system call if available.
• Windows: calls CryptGenRandom, using the default cryptographic service provider with the PROV_RSA_FULL type.
• iOS: calls SecRandomCopyBytes as /dev/(u)random is sandboxed.

This does not block.

Methods

impl OsRng

fn new() -> IoResult<OsRng>
