gnutls_crypto_rnd_register23

Register a random generator

Usage

#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

Overview

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
