gnutls_crypto_rnd_register2: register a random generator

NAME

gnutls_crypto_rnd_register2 - register a random generator

SYNOPSIS

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

int gnutls_crypto_rnd_register2(int priority, int version, gnutls_crypto_rnd_st * s);

ARGUMENTS

int priority
is the priority of the generator
int version
should be set to GNUTLS_CRYPTO_API_VERSION
gnutls_crypto_rnd_st * s
is a structure holding new generator's data

DESCRIPTION

This function will register a random generator to be used by gnutls. Any generator registered will override the included generator and by convention kernel implemented generators have priority of 90. The generator with the lowest priority will be used by gnutls.

This function should be called before gnutls_global_init().

For simplicity you can use the convenience gnutls_crypto_rnd_register() macro.

RETURNS

GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success, otherwise an error.

SINCE

2.6.0
