linux-getrandom-userspace

Userspace implementation of the Linux 3.17 getrandom() syscall.

Overview

Since Linux 3.17 there is a system call getrandom(). This was added to glibc 2.25.

This library can be used with LD_PRELOAD if you're using Linux 3.16 or earlier and need to run an application which requires getrandom().

See LWN's The long road to getrandom() in glibc for more information.

Usage

make
LD_PRELOAD="${PWD}/getrandom.so" mail
