+
+Core traits and error types of the [rand] library, plus tools for implementing
+RNGs.
+
+This crate is intended for use when implementing the core trait, `RngCore`; it
+defines the core traits to be implemented as well as several small functions to
+aid in their implementation and types required for error handling.
+
+The main [rand] crate re-exports most items defined in this crate, along with
+tools to convert the integer samples generated by `RngCore` to many different
+applications (including sampling from restricted ranges, conversion to floating
+point, list permutations and secure initialisation of RNGs). Most users should
+prefer to use the main [rand] crate.
