//! Entropy generator, or wrapper around external generators

use rand_core::{RngCore, CryptoRng, Error, impls};
use rngs::{OsRng, JitterRng};

/// An interface returning random data from external source(s), provided
/// specifically for securely seeding algorithmic generators (PRNGs).
///
/// Where possible, `EntropyRng` retrieves random data from the operating
/// system's interface for random numbers ([`OsRng`]); if that fails it will
/// fall back to the [`JitterRng`] entropy collector. In the latter case it will
/// still try to use [`OsRng`] on the next usage.
///
/// If no secure source of entropy is available `EntropyRng` will panic on use;
/// i.e. it should never output predictable data.
/// 
/// This is either a little slow ([`OsRng`] requires a system call) or extremely
/// slow ([`JitterRng`] must use significant CPU time to generate sufficient
/// jitter); for better performance it is common to seed a local PRNG from
/// external entropy then primarily use the local PRNG ([`thread_rng`] is
/// provided as a convenient, local, automatically-seeded CSPRNG).
///
/// # Panics
///
/// On most systems, like Windows, Linux, macOS and *BSD on common hardware, it
/// is highly unlikely for both [`OsRng`] and [`JitterRng`] to fail. But on
/// combinations like webassembly without Emscripten or stdweb both sources are
/// unavailable. If both sources fail, only [`try_fill_bytes`] is able to
/// report the error, and only the one from `OsRng`. The other [`RngCore`]
/// methods will panic in case of an error.
