GetNextBytes Method

Generates a sequence of random bytes.

Syntax

• C++
• Objective-C
• C

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetNextBytes();

Unicode (Windows)
INT GetNextBytes();

- (void)getNextBytes;

#define MID_EZRAND_GETNEXTBYTES 3

IPWORKSENCRYPT_EXTERNAL int IPWORKSENCRYPT_CALL IPWorksEncrypt_EzRand_Do(void *lpObj, int methid, int cparam, void *param[], int cbparam[], int64 *lpllVal);

Remarks

This method generates a new sequence of random bytes. The RandBytesLength property specifies the length of the byte array. After calling this method the RandBytes will hold the random bytes. The following properties are applicable when calling this method:

• Algorithm
• RandBytesLength
• Seed

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
