|

.Nm getrandom
|
|
.Nd get random data
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/random.h
|
|
.Ft ssize_t
|
|
.Fn getrandom "void *buf" "size_t buflen" "unsigned int flags"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Fn getrandom
|
|
fills
|
|
.Fa buf
|
|
with up to
|
|
.Fa buflen
|
|
bytes of random data.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
argument may include zero or more of the following:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width _GRND_NONBLOCK_
|
|
.It Ql GRND_NONBLOCK
|
|
Return
|
|
.Er EAGAIN
|
|
instead of blocking, if the
|
|
.Xr random 4
|
|
device has not yet been seeded.
|
|
By default,
|
|
.Fn getrandom
|
|
will block until the device is seeded.
|
|
.It Ql GRND_RANDOM
|
|
This flag does nothing on
|
|
.Fx .
|
|
.Pa /dev/random
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa /dev/urandom
|
|
are identical.
|
|
.It Ql GRND_INSECURE
|
|
This flag is treated as an alternative name for
|
|
.Dv GRND_NONBLOCK .
|
|
It is provided solely for API compatibility with Linux.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Xr random 4
|
|
device has been seeded, reads of up to 256 bytes will always return as many
|
|
bytes as requested and will not be interrupted by signals.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Upon successful completion, the number of bytes which were actually read is
|
|
returned.
|
|
For requests larger than 256 bytes, this can be fewer bytes than were
|
|
requested.
|
|
Otherwise, -1 is returned and the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getrandom
|
|
operation returns the following errors:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EAGAIN
|
|
The
|
|
.Ql GRND_NONBLOCK
|
|
(or
|
|
.Ql GRND_INSECURE )
|
|
flag was set and the
|
|
.Xr random 4
|
|
device was not yet seeded.
|
|
.It Bq Er EFAULT
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa buf
|
|
parameter points to an invalid address.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINTR
|
|
The sleep was interrupted by a signal.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
An invalid
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
was specified.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The requested
|
|
.Fa buflen
|
|
was larger than
|
|
.Dv IOSIZE_MAX .

|
|
.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
.Fn getrandom
|
|
is non-standard.
|
|
It is present in Linux.
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getrandom
|
|
system call first appeared in
|
|
.Fx 12.0 .
|
|
.Sh CAVEATS
|
|
Unlike Linux, the
|
|
.Dv GRND_INSECURE
|
|
flag on
|
|
.Fx
|
|
does not produce any output before the
|
|
.Xr random 4
|
|
device is seeded.
