//! Random data generation through `getentropy`. //! //! Since issue 8 (2024), the POSIX specification mandates the existence of the //! `getentropy` function, which fills a slice of up to `GETENTROPY_MAX` bytes //! (256 on all known platforms) with random data. Unfortunately, it's only //! meant to be used to seed other CPRNGs, which we don't have, so we only use //! it where `arc4random_buf` and friends aren't available or secure (currently //! that's only the case on Emscripten). pub fn fill_bytes(bytes: &mut [u8]) { // GETENTROPY_MAX isn't defined yet on most platforms, but it's mandated // to be at least 256, so just use that as limit. for chunk in bytes.chunks_mut(256) { let r = unsafe { libc::getentropy(chunk.as_mut_ptr().cast(), chunk.len()) }; assert_ne!(r, -1, "failed to generate random data"); } }
