Crypt::Random::Source::Base::Handle - IO::Handle based random data sources

handle
       An IO::Handle or file handle to read from.

   blocking
       This is actually handled by "handle", and is documented in IO::Handle.

   allow_under_read
       Whether or not under reading is considered an error.

       Defaults to false.

   reread_attempts
       The number of attempts to make at rereading if the handle did not provide enough bytes on the first
       attempt.

       Defaults to 1.

       Only used if "allow_under_read" is enabled.

       This is a concrete base class for all IO::Handle based random data sources.

       It implements error handling

get
       See "get" in Crypt::Random::Source::Base.

       When "blocking" or "allow_under_read" are set to a true value this method may return fewer bytes than
       requested.

   read
       This delegates directly to "handle".

       It DOESNOT provide the same validation as "get" would have, so no checking for underreads is done.

   close
       Close the handle and clear it.

   _read
       "$self->handle->read" but with additional error checking and different calling conventions.

   _read_too_short
       Called by "_read" when not enough data was read from the handle. Normally it will either die with an
       error or attempt to reread. When "allow_under_read" is true it will just return the partial buffer.

   open_handle
       Abstract method, should return an IO::Handle to use.
