11
13 use Moo;
14 extends qw(Crypt::Random::Source::Base);
15
17 This is an abstract base class.
18
19 In the future it will be a role.
20
22 get $n, %args
23 Gets $n random bytes and returns them as a string.
24
25 This method may produce fatal errors if the source was unable to
26 provide enough data.
27
28 read $buf, $n, [ $off ]
29 This method is cannibalized from IO::Scalar. It provides an IO::Handle
30 work-alike.
31
32 Note that subclasses override this to operate on a real handle directly
33 if available.
34
35 seed @stuff
36 On supporting sources this method will add @stuff, whatever it may be,
37 to the random seed.
38
39 Some sources may not support this, so be careful.
40
41 available
42 This is a class method, such that when it returns true calling "new"
43 without arguments on the class should provide a working source of
44 random data.
45
46 This is use by Crypt::Random::Source::Factory.
47
48 rank
49 This is a class method, with some futz value for a ranking, to help
50 known good sources be tried before known bad (slower, less available)
51 sources.

53 get_data %Params
54 Provided for compatibility with Crypt::Random
