//! Interface to the random number generator of the operating system.
use crate::{impls, CryptoRng, Error, RngCore};
use getrandom::getrandom;
/// A random number generator that retrieves randomness from the
/// operating system.
///
/// This is a zero-sized struct. It can be freely constructed with `OsRng`.
///
/// The implementation is provided by the [getrandom] crate. Refer to
/// [getrandom] documentation for details.
///
/// This struct is only available when specifying the crate feature `getrandom`
/// or `std`. When using the `rand` lib, it is also available as `rand::rngs::OsRng`.
///
/// # Blocking and error handling
///
/// It is possible that when used during early boot the first call to `OsRng`
/// will block until the system's RNG is initialised. It is also possible
/// (though highly unlikely) for `OsRng` to fail on some platforms, most
/// likely due to system mis-configuration.
///
/// After the first successful call, it is highly unlikely that failures or
/// significant delays will occur (although performance should be expected to
/// be much slower than a user-space PRNG).
///
/// # Usage example
/// ```
/// use rand_core::{RngCore, OsRng};
///
/// let mut key = [0u8; 16];
/// OsRng.fill_bytes(&mut key);
/// let random_u64 = OsRng.next_u64();
/// ```
///
