- <h3>Name</h3>
- random - kernel randomness source
- <h3>Synopsis</h3>
- device random0 at lrandom*<br>
- device random0 at pseudorand0<br>
- <h3>Description</h3>
- 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.
- <p>
- The random device provides both the in-kernel random() function and a
- VFS character device, called <tt>random:</tt>. Bytes read from the
- latter have random values; writes are discarded.
