* Name: getrandom
*
* Description:
* Fill a buffer of arbitrary length with randomness. This uses
* either /dev/random (if GRND_RANDOM flag) or /dev/urandom device and
* is therefore susceptible for things like the attacker exhausting file
* descriptors on purpose.
*
* Input Parameters:
* bytes - Buffer for returned random bytes
* nbytes - Number of bytes requested.
* flags - Bit mask that can contain zero or more of the ORed values
* together.
*
* Returned Value:
* On success, getrandom() returns the number of bytes that were copied
* to the buffer bytes. This may be less than the number of bytes
* requested via nbytes if either GRND_RANDOM was specified in flags and
* insufficient entropy was present in the random source or the system
* call was interrupted by a signal.
*
* On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
