=head1 NAME
Crypt::URandom - Provide non blocking randomness
=head1 VERSION
This document describes Crypt::URandom version 0.54
=head1 SYNOPSIS
    use Crypt::URandom();
    my $random_string_50_bytes_long = Crypt::URandom::urandom(50);
OR
   
    use Crypt::URandom qw( urandom );
    my $random_string_50_bytes_long = urandom(50);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This Module is intended to provide
an interface to the strongest available source of non-blocking 
randomness on the current platform.  Platforms currently supported are
anything supporting L<getrandom(2)>, /dev/urandom and versions of Windows greater
than or equal to Windows 2000.
=head1 SUBROUTINES/METHODS
=over
=item C<urandom>
=for stopwords cryptographic Win32 initialize
This function accepts an integer and returns a string of the same size
filled with random data. It will throw an exception if the requested amount of
random data is not returned. The first call will initialize the native
cryptographic libraries (if necessary) and load all the required Perl libraries.
This call is a buffered read on non Win32 platforms that do not support L<getrandom(2)>
or equivalent.
=item C<urandom_ub>
=for stopwords cryptographic Win32 initialize unbuffered sysread
This function accepts an integer and returns a string of the same size
filled with random data.  It will throw an exception if the requested amount of
random data is not returned.  The first call will initialize the native
cryptographic libraries (if necessary) and load all the required Perl libraries.
This call is a unbuffered sysread on non Win32 platforms that do not support
L<getrandom(2)> or equivalent.
=item C<getrandom>
This function accepts an integer and returns a string of the same size
filled with random data on platforms that implement L<getrandom(2)>.
It will throw an exception if the requested amount of random data is not returned.
This is NOT portable across all operating systems, but is made available if
high-speed generation of random numbers is required.
=back
=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
=over
=item C<No secure alternative for random number generation for Win32 versions older than W2K>
The module cannot run on versions of Windows earlier than Windows 2000 as there is no
cryptographic functions provided by the operating system.
=item C<Could not import CryptAcquireContext>
=for stopwords CryptAcquireContextA advapi32
The module was unable to load the CryptAcquireContextA function from the 
advapi32 dynamic library.  The advapi32 library cannot probably be loaded.
=item C<CryptAcquireContext failed>
=for stopwords advapi32
The module was unable to call the CryptAcquireContextA function from the
advapi32 dynamic library.
=item C<Could not import CryptGenRandom>
=for stopwords advapi32 CryptGenRandom
The module was unable to load the CryptGenRandom function from the 
advapi32 dynamic library.
=item C<Could not import SystemFunction036>
=for stopwords SystemFunction036
The module was unable to load the SystemFunction036 function from the 
advapi32 dynamic library.
=item C<The length argument must be supplied and must be an integer>
The get method must be called with an integer argument to describe how many
random bytes are required.
=item C<CryptGenRandom failed>
The Windows 2000 CryptGenRandom method call failed to generate the required
amount of randomness
=item C<RtlGenRand failed>
=for stopwords RtlGenRand
The post Windows 2000 RtlGenRand method call failed to generate the required
amount of randomness
=item C<Only read n bytes from path>
The /dev/urandom device did not return the desired amount of random bytes
=item C<Failed to read from path>
The /dev/urandom device returned an error when being read from
=item C<Failed to open path>
The /dev/urandom device returned an error when being opened
=back
=head1 CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT
Crypt::URandom requires no configuration files or environment variables.
If the environment variable CRYPT_URANDOM_BUILD_DEBUG is specified when
running C<perl Makefile.PL> or C<make test> AND L<getrandom(2)> or it's
equivalents cannot be detected, extra debug will be shown to show the
failures to detect these functions.
=head1 DEPENDENCIES
=over
=for stopwords perl
If the platform is Win32, the Win32::API module will be required.  Otherwise
no other modules other than those provided by perl will be required
=back
=head1 INCOMPATIBILITIES
None reported.
