Struct SystemEntropyStream
The underlying stream-like interface for SystemEntropy.
On Windows, pathToRandom and pathToStrongRandom must be null because Windows uses a system call, not a file path, to retreive system entropy.
On Posix, pathToRandom must NOT be null. If pathToStrongRandom is null, then pathToStrongRandom is assumed to be pathToRandom.
Because std.stream is pending a full replacement, be aware that stream-like random number generators currently use a temporary design that may change once a new std.stream is available.

Methods
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
close
|
Manually release the handle/connection to the system-specific entropy generator. |
isOpen
|
Check whether SystemEntropyStream is currently connected to with the
system-specific entropy generator.
|
open
|
Establishes a handle/connection to the system-specific entropy generator.
Does nothing if already open.
|
read
|
Fills the buffer with entropy from the system-specific entropy generator.
Automatically opens SystemEntropyStream if it's closed.
