xous-core/imports/getrandom/README.md
bunnie e2026318b6 commit the getrandom fork, which is vendored into the kernel
we have to keep all the targets around, because hosted mode
also uses rand, which won't resolve correctly unless we also
have the host's target available, unfortunately

(trust me, tried to do a version stripped down just for xous...)

A Rust library for retrieving random data from (operating) system source. It is
assumed that system always provides high-quality cryptographically secure random
data, ideally backed by hardware entropy sources. This crate derives its name
from Linux's `getrandom` function, but is cross platform, roughly supporting
the same set of platforms as Rust's `std` lib.
This is a low-level API. Most users should prefer using high-level random-number
library like [`rand`].
[`rand`]: https://crates.io/crates/rand
## Usage
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
getrandom = "0.2"
```
Then invoke the `getrandom` function:
```rust
fn get_random_buf() -> Result<[u8; 32], getrandom::Error> {
let mut buf = [0u8; 32];
getrandom::getrandom(&mut buf)?;
Ok(buf)
}
```
For more information about supported targets, entropy sources, `no_std` targets,
crate features, WASM support and Custom RNGs see the
[`getrandom` documentation](https://docs.rs/getrandom/latest) and
[`getrandom::Error` documentation](https://docs.rs/getrandom/latest/getrandom/struct.Error.html).
## Minimum Supported Rust Version
This crate requires Rust 1.34.0 or later.
