Hi,
I'd like to get some unpredictable random data from Linux'
urandom pool. The simple way to do this is reading from
/dev/urandom. Opening a file, however, is undesirable as it
introduces multiple points of failure.
In C I'd use:
#include <linux/random.h>
int getrandom(void *buf, size_t buflen, unsigned int flags);
How can I call this function from D in a simple and clean way?
Thanks for your help!
This getrandom is not a function, but a syscall. You should be
able to use it via this syscall-d package.
