Struct rand::read::ReadRng

pub struct ReadRng<R> {
    // some fields omitted
}

An RNG that reads random bytes straight from a Read. This will work best with an infinite reader, but this is not required.

Panics

It will panic if it there is insufficient data to fulfill a request.

Example

use rand::{read, Rng};

let data = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8];
let mut rng = read::ReadRng::new(&data[..]);
println!("{:x}", rng.gen::<u32>());

Methods

impl<R: Read> ReadRng<R>

fn new(r: R) -> ReadRng<R>

Create a new ReadRng from a Read.

Trait Implementations

fn next_u32(&mut self) -> u32

Return the next random u32.

fn next_u64(&mut self) -> u64

Return the next random u64.

fn fill_bytes(&mut self, v: &mut [u8])
