Random-number generator
This is an interface to an OS-provided RNG that is fast and nevertheless secure enough for creating session keys. Note that it should not be used for creating long-term keys.
On Unix, the /dev/urandom device is used. If it is not available, the
functions fail.
On Win32, an RNG is obtained using CryptAcquireContext.
val set_rng : (Stdlib.Bytes.t -> unit) -> unitSets the globally used RNG
val fill_random : Stdlib.Bytes.t -> unitFills this string with random bytes
