## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ name()

virtual std::string Botan::EntropySource::name | ( |  | ) | const
| pure virtual

Returns
  name identifying this entropy source

Implemented in Botan::High_Resolution_Timestamp, Botan::Device_EntropySource, Botan::EGD_EntropySource, Botan::Unix_EntropySource, Botan::Win32_CAPI_EntropySource, Botan::Intel_Rdrand, Botan::FTW_EntropySource, and Botan::Win32_EntropySource.
