/**
* @addtogroup rng_module Random number generator (RNG) module
*
* The Random number generator (RNG) module provides random number
* generation, see \c havege_rand(). It uses the HAVEGE (HArdware Volatile
* Entropy Gathering and Expansion) software heuristic which is claimed
* to be an unpredictable or empirically strong* random number generation.
*
* \* Meaning that there seems to be no practical algorithm that can guess
* the next bit with a probability larger than 1/2 in an output sequence.
*
* This module can be used to generate random numbers.
