I am well familiar with Linux getrandom(2) as my colleagues and I studied it back in 2015 when we decided to improve the interface instead of mindlessly copying Linux. You seem to confuse POSIX with Linux manpages? getrandom() has never been in any standards, be they formal international standards or industry group de-facto standards. Please see my reply to Xiao Xiang in https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/pull/2497, I suggest you read in detail everything referenced there and in this thread as there is more to this topic than just the prototype. LKML mailing list has also had extensive discussions about getrandom(). ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
