OS/161 Reference Manual
Name
random - kernel randomness source
Synopsis
device random0 at lrandom*
device random0 at pseudorand0
Description
The random device is the generalized interface to randomness sources.
Only one random device is used; if more are attached they are ignored.
If no random device is found, the kernel may not run.
The random device provides both the in-kernel random() function and a
VFS character device, called random:. Bytes read from the
latter have random values; writes are discarded.
