The PCG family of Random Number Generators combines properties not previously seen together in the same generation scheme: + It's really easy to use, and yet its very flexible and offers powerful features (including some that allow you to perform silly party tricks). + It's very fast, and can occupy very little space. + It has small code size. + It's performance in statistical tests is excellent (see the PCG paper for full details). + It's much less predictable and thus more secure than most generators. + It's open source software, with a permissive license (the Apache license).

Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
Problem reports, updates or suggestions for this package should be reported with send-pr.
