Generates cryptographically strong random values. The given
typedArrayis filled with random values, and a reference totypedArrayis returned.The given
typedArraymust be an integer-based instance of NodeJS.TypedArray, i.e.Float32ArrayandFloat64Arrayare not accepted.An error will be thrown if the given
typedArrayis larger than 65,536 bytes. Generates a random RFC 4122 version 4 UUID. The UUID is generated using a cryptographic pseudorandom number generator.
