Synopsis

Efficient generation of random bytestrings

Description

__This package is deprecated__. Please, use genByteString from the [random package (version >=1.2)](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/random) instead. . Efficient generation of random bytestrings. The implementation populates uninitialized memory with uniformily distributed random 64 bit words (and 8 bit words for remaining bytes at the end of the bytestring). . Random words are generated using the PRNG from the [mwc-random](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/mwc-random) package or the [pcg-random](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/pcg-random) package. It is also possible to use a custom PRNG by providing an instance for the RandomWords type class and using the function generate from the module "Data.ByteString.Random.Internal". . The generated byte strings are suitable for statistical applications. They are /not/ suitable for cryptographic applications. . ![benchmarks](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/random-bytestring-0.1.3.2/src/benchmarks.png) . ![detailed benchmarks](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/random-bytestring-0.1.3.2/src/benchmarks-details.png)
