If we do create a libinux library, I'd definitely want getrandom(2) to be defined as getrandom(), and not as sys_getrandom() or linux_getrandom(). For bonus points we could also define a OpenBSD compatible getentropy() interface so that programs that were already written to use the OpenBSD interface (and perhaps have a configure test for it already) would get the benefits of the getrandom(2) system call immediately. - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
