NAME

       nettle-lfib-stream - pseudorandom generator

SYNOPSIS

       nettle-lfib-stream [seed]

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual page documents briefly the nettle-lfib-stream command.  This manual page was written for the
       Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       nettle-lfib-stream outputs a sequence of pseudorandom (non-cryptographic)  bytes,  using  Knuth's  lagged
       fibonacci generator, optionally using the integer seed as the seed. If no seed is given, time(2) is used.

       Warning:  The  stream  is  useful  for  testing, but should not be used to generate cryptographic keys or
       anything else that needs real randomness.
