<pre class='rust struct'>pub struct SystemRandom;</pre><div class='docblock'><p>A secure random number generator where the random values come directly
from the operating system.</p>
<p>A single <code>SystemRandom</code> may be shared across multiple threads safely.</p>
<p><code>new()</code> is guaranteed to always succeed and to have low latency; it won&#39;t
try to open or read from a file or do similar things. The first call to
<code>fill()</code> may block a substantial amount of time since any and all
initialization is deferred to it. Therefore, it may be a good idea to call
<code>fill()</code> once at a non-latency-sensitive time to minimize latency for
future calls.</p>
<p>On Linux, <code>fill()</code> will use the <a href="http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/getrandom.2.html"><code>getrandom</code></a> syscall. If the kernel is too
old to support <code>getrandom</code> then by default <code>fill()</code> falls back to reading
from <code>/dev/urandom</code>. This decision is made the first time <code>fill</code>
<em>succeeds</em>. The fallback to <code>/dev/urandom</code> can be disabled by disabling the
<code>dev_urandom_fallback</code> default feature; this should be done whenever the
target system is known to support <code>getrandom</code>. Library crates should avoid
explicitly enabling the <code>dev_urandom_fallback</code> feature.</p>
<p>On macOS and iOS, <code>fill()</code> is implemented using <code>SecRandomCopyBytes</code>.</p>
<p>On Redox, <code>fill()</code> is implemented by reading from <code>rand:</code>.</p>
<p>On Windows, <code>fill</code> is implemented using the platform&#39;s API for secure
random number generation.</p>
<p>Otherwise, <code>fill()</code> is implemented by reading from <code>/dev/urandom</code>. (This is
something that should be improved for any platform that adds something
better.)</p>
<p>When <code>/dev/urandom</code> is used, a file handle for <code>/dev/urandom</code> won&#39;t be
opened until <code>fill</code> is called. In particular, <code>SystemRandom::new()</code> will
not open <code>/dev/urandom</code> or do other potentially-high-latency things. The
file handle will never be closed, until the operating system closes it at
process shutdown. All instance of <code>SystemRandom</code> will share a single file
handle.</p>
<p>On Linux, to properly implement seccomp filtering when the
<code>dev_urandom_fallback</code> default feature is disabled, allow <code>getrandom</code>
through. When the fallback is enabled, allow file opening, <code>getrandom</code>,
and <code>read</code> up until the first call to <code>fill()</code> succeeds. After that, allow
<code>getrandom</code> and <code>read</code>.</p>

<h2>Search Tricks</h2>
<p>
Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g.
<code>fn:</code>) to restrict the search to a given type.
</p>
<p>
Accepted types are: <code>fn</code>, <code>mod</code>,
<code>struct</code>, <code>enum</code>,
<code>trait</code>, <code>type</code>, <code>macro</code>,
and <code>const</code>.
</p>
<p>
Search functions by type signature (e.g.
<code>vec -> usize</code> or <code>* -> vec</code>)
