<p>life_cycle-rand - The RAND algorithm life-cycle</p>
<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>
<p>All random number generator (RANDs) go through a number of stages in their life-cycle:</p>
<dl>
<dt id="start">start</dt>
<dd>
<p>This state represents the RAND before it has been allocated. It is the starting state for any life-cycle transitions.</p>
</dd>
<dt id="newed">newed</dt>
<dd>
<p>This state represents the RAND after it has been allocated but unable to generate any output.</p>
</dd>
<dt id="instantiated">instantiated</dt>
<dd>
<p>This state represents the RAND when it is set up and capable of generating output.</p>
</dd>
<dt id="uninstantiated">uninstantiated</dt>
<dd>
<p>This state represents the RAND when it has been shutdown and it is no longer capable of generating output.</p>
</dd>
<dt id="freed">freed</dt>
<dd>
<p>This state is entered when the RAND is freed. It is the terminal state for all life-cycle transitions.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<h2 id="State-Transition-Diagram">State Transition Diagram</h2>
<p>The usual life-cycle of a RAND is illustrated:</p>

<p>This section defines all of the legal state transitions. This is the canonical list.</p>
