Explanation:

  1. Include necessary headers: #include <stdio.h> for standard input and output, and #include <gnunet/gnunet_util_lib.h> for the GNUnet utility library.

  2. Define the main function with command line arguments argc and argv.

  3. Declare a variable handle of type struct GNUNET_CRYPTO_RNG_Handle* to hold the random number generator handle.

  4. Declare an array buffer of unsigned characters to store the generated random bytes.

  5. Set up logging for GNUnet with GNUNET_log_setup function, specifying the application name, log level ("WARNING" in this case), and additional options (NULL in this case).

  6. Initialize the GNUnet crypto library with GNUNET_CRYPTO_rng_init.

  7. Create a random number generator handle using GNUNET_CRYPTO_rng_create.

  8. Generate random bytes using GNUNET_CRYPTO_random_block function, passing the handle, buffer, and the size of the buffer.

  9. Print the generated random bytes in hexadecimal format using a loop.

  10. Clean up by destroying the random number generator handle with GNUNET_CRYPTO_rng_destroy.

  11. Finalize the GNUnet crypto library with GNUNET_CRYPTO_rng_done.

  12. Return 0 to indicate successful execution of the program.
