MONGOC_RAND_ADD(3)

🎀 MONGOC_RAND_ADD(3) 🎀

okay bestie, so this one lives in libmongoc and it's literally the cutest little function: mongoc_rand_add. Let's get into it 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void
mongoc_rand_add (const void *buf, int num, double entropy);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So what it does is mix num bytes of data into the mongoc random number generator. That's the whole vibe. 🫶

And the entropy argument? It's a lower bound estimate of the randomness contained in buf — like, you're telling the function "bestie, I swear there's at least this much randomness in here." no cap, that's the deal 🔥

🦋 PARAMETERS 🦋

• buf — a buffer. that's it, that's the buffer 🎀
• num — an int of number of bytes in buf.
• entropy — a double of randomness estimate in buf.
