create()

std::unique_ptr< Entropy_Source > Botan::Entropy_Source::create ( const std::string &  type )

staticinherited

Return a new entropy source of a particular type, or null Each entropy source may require substantial resources (eg, a file handle or socket instance), so try to share them among multiple RNGs, or just use the preconfigured global list accessed by Entropy_Sources::global_sources()
