This is an example of documentation generated by ZigDoc, an alternative to Zig's built-in Auto Doc feature. See also examples in other modes/formats. The project being documented here (as the example) is the Zig standard library. Public Function

random

Public Function
std.Io.random
pub fn random(io: Io, buffer: []u8) void

Obtains entropy from a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator.

The implementation may store RNG state in process memory and use it to fill buffer.

The randomness is seeded by randomSecure, or a less secure mechanism upon failure.

Threadsafe.

See also randomSecure.

Params

  • io: Io
  • buffer: []u8
