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
