NAME

- -ipsec ranbits - generate random bits in ASCII form -  -

SYNOPSIS

- -ipsec - -ranbits - -[ ---quick - -] [ ---continuous - -] [ ---bytes - -] nbits -  -

DESCRIPTION

- -Ranbits - -obtains -nbits - -(rounded up to the nearest byte) -high-quality random bits from -random(4), - -and emits them on standard output as an ASCII string. -The default output format is -datatot(3) - -h - -format: -lowercase hexadecimal with a -0x - -prefix and an underscore every 32 bits. -

- -The ---quick - -option produces quick-and-dirty random bits: -instead of using the high-quality random bits from -/dev/random, - -which may take some time to supply the necessary bits if -nbits - -is large, -ranbits - -uses -/dev/urandom, - -which yields prompt results but lower-quality randomness. -

- -The ---continuous - -option uses -datatot(3) - -x - -output format, like -h - -but without the underscores. -

- -The ---bytes - -option causes -nbits - -to be interpreted as a byte count rather than a bit count. -  -

FILES

- -/dev/random, /dev/urandom -  -

SEE ALSO

- -ipsec_datatot(3), random(4) -  -

HISTORY

- -Written for the Linux FreeS/WAN project -<http://www.freeswan.org> -by Henry Spencer. -  -

BUGS

- -There is an internal limit on -nbits, - -currently 20000. -

- -Without ---quick, - -ranbits's - -run time is difficult to predict. -A request for a large number of bits, -at a time when the system's entropy pool is low on randomness, -may take quite a while to satisfy. -
