How To Install libghc-tf-random-prof on Debian 11
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install libghc-tf-random-prof
on Debian 11.
What is libghc-tf-random-prof
libghc-tf-random-prof is:
This package contains an implementation of a high-quality splittable pseudorandom number generator. The generator is based on a cryptographic hash function built on top of the ThreeFish block cipher. See the paper Splittable Pseudorandom Number Generators Using Cryptographic Hashing by Claessen, Pa?ka for details and the rationale of the design.
The package provides the following:
A splittable PRNG that implements the standard System.Random.RandomGen class.
The generator also implements an alternative version of the System.Random.TF.Gen.RandomGen class (exported from System.Random.TF.Gen), which requires the generator to return pseudorandom integers from the full 32-bit range, and contains an n-way split function.
An alternative version of the Random class is provided, which is linked to the new RandomGen class, together with Random instances for some integral types.
Two functions for initialising the generator with a non-deterministic seed: one using the system time, and one using the /dev/urandom UNIX special file.
Please note that even though the generator provides very high-quality pseudorandom numbers, it has not been designed with cryptographic applications in mind.
This package provides a library for the Haskell programming language, compiled for profiling. See http://www.haskell.org/ for more information on Haskell.
There are three methods to install libghc-tf-random-prof
on Debian 11. We can use apt-get
