BlockGenerator32<TEngine>.NextBytes Method

public void NextBytes(
	Span<byte> buffer
)

Public Sub NextBytes ( 
	buffer As Span(Of Byte)
)

public:
virtual void NextBytes(
	Span<unsigned char> buffer
) sealed

abstract NextBytes : 
        buffer : Span<byte> -> unit 
override NextBytes : 
        buffer : Span<byte> -> unit 

Parameters

buffer  Span<Byte>

The span to fill with random bytes.

Implements

This method writes bytes by repeatedly generating words (32-bit or 64-bit depending on the generator) and converting them to bytes in little-endian order.

When the buffer length is not evenly divisible by the word size, the method consumes one additional word and writes only the required low-order bytes (tail consumption rule).

The byte sequence produced by NextBytes(Span<Byte>) is stable and portable across all platforms.
