getrandom 0.3.2

A small cross-platform library for retrieving random data from system source
Documentation
//! Solaris implementation using getrandom(2).
//!
//! While getrandom(2) has been available since Solaris 11.3, it has a few
//! quirks not present on other OSes. First, on Solaris 11.3, calls will always
//! fail if bufsz > 1024. Second, it will always either fail or completely fill
//! the buffer (returning bufsz). Third, error is indicated by returning 0,
//! rather than by returning -1. Finally, "if GRND_RANDOM is not specified
//! then getrandom(2) is always a non blocking call". This _might_ imply that
//! in early-boot scenarios with low entropy, getrandom(2) will not properly
//! block. To be safe, we set GRND_RANDOM, mirroring the man page examples.
//!
//! For more information, see the man page linked in lib.rs and this blog post:
//! https://blogs.oracle.com/solaris/post/solaris-new-system-calls-getentropy2-and-getrandom2
//! which also explains why this crate should not use getentropy(2).
