//! | Nintendo 3DS      | `armv6k-nintendo-3ds` | [`getrandom`][1]
//!
//! There is no blanket implementation on `unix` targets that reads from
//! `/dev/urandom`. This ensures all supported targets are using the recommended
//! interface and respect maximum buffer sizes.
//!
//! Pull Requests that add support for new targets to `getrandom` are always welcome.
//!
//! ## Unsupported targets
//!
//! By default, `getrandom` will not compile on unsupported targets, but certain
//! features allow a user to select a "fallback" implementation if no supported
//! implementation exists.
//!
//! All of the below mechanisms only affect unsupported
//! targets. Supported targets will _always_ use their supported implementations.
//! This prevents a crate from overriding a secure source of randomness
//! (either accidentally or intentionally).
//!
//! ### RDRAND on x86
//!
//! *If the `rdrand` Cargo feature is enabled*, `getrandom` will fallback to using
//! the [`RDRAND`] instruction to get randomness on `no_std` `x86`/`x86_64`
//! targets. This feature has no effect on other CPU architectures.
//!
//! ### WebAssembly support
//!
//! This crate fully supports the
//! [`wasm32-wasi`](https://github.com/CraneStation/wasi) and
//! [`wasm32-unknown-emscripten`](https://www.hellorust.com/setup/emscripten/)
//! targets. However, the `wasm32-unknown-unknown` target (i.e. the target used
//! by `wasm-pack`) is not automatically
//! supported since, from the target name alone, we cannot deduce which
//! JavaScript interface is in use (or if JavaScript is available at all).
//!
//! Instead, *if the `js` Cargo feature is enabled*, this crate will assume
//! that you are building for an environment containing JavaScript, and will
//! call the appropriate methods. Both web browser (main window and Web Workers)
//! and Node.js environments are supported, invoking the methods
//! [described above](#supported-targets) using the [`wasm-bindgen`] toolchain.
//!
//! To enable the `js` Cargo feature, add the following to the `dependencies`
//! section in your `Cargo.toml` file:
//! ```toml
//! [dependencies]
//! getrandom = { version = "0.2", features = ["js"] }
//! ```
//!
//! This can be done even if `getrandom` is not a direct dependency. Cargo
//! allows crates to enable features for indirect dependencies.
//!
//! This feature should only be enabled for binary, test, or benchmark crates.
//! Library crates should generally not enable this feature, leaving such a
//! decision to *users* of their library. Also, libraries should not introduce
//! their own `js` features *just* to enable `getrandom`'s `js` feature.
//!
//! This feature has no effect on targets other than `wasm32-unknown-unknown`.
//!
//! #### Node.js ES module support
//!
//! Node.js supports both [CommonJS modules] and [ES modules]. Due to
//! limitations in wasm-bindgen's [`module`] support, we cannot directly
//! support ES Modules running on Node.js. However, on Node v15 and later, the
//! module author can add a simple shim to support the Web Cryptography API:
//! ```js
//! import { webcrypto } from 'node:crypto'
//! globalThis.crypto = webcrypto
//! ```
//! This crate will then use the provided `webcrypto` implementation.
//!
//! ### Custom implementations
//!
//! The [`register_custom_getrandom!`] macro allows a user to mark their own
//! function as the backing implementation for [`getrandom`]. See the macro's
//! documentation for more information about writing and registering your own
//! custom implementations.
//!
//! Note that registering a custom implementation only has an effect on targets
//! that would otherwise not compile. Any supported targets (including those
//! using `rdrand` and `js` Cargo features) continue using their normal
//! implementations even if a function is registered.
//!
//! ## Early boot
//!
//! Sometimes, early in the boot process, the OS has not collected enough
//! entropy to securely seed its RNG. This is especially common on virtual
//! machines, where standard "random" events are hard to come by.
//!
//! Some operating system interfaces always block until the RNG is securely
//! seeded. This can take anywhere from a few seconds to more than a minute.
//! A few (Linux, NetBSD and Solaris) offer a choice between blocking and
//! getting an error; in these cases, we always choose to block.
//!
//! On Linux (when the `getrandom` system call is not available), reading from
//! `/dev/urandom` never blocks, even when the OS hasn't collected enough
//! entropy yet. To avoid returning low-entropy bytes, we first poll
//! `/dev/random` and only switch to `/dev/urandom` once this has succeeded.
//!
//! On OpenBSD, this kind of entropy accounting isn't available, and on
//! NetBSD, blocking on it is discouraged. On these platforms, nonblocking
//! interfaces are used, even when reliable entropy may not be available.
//! On the platforms where it is used, the reliability of entropy accounting
//! itself isn't free from controversy. This library provides randomness
//! sourced according to the platform's best practices, but each platform has
//! its own limits on the grade of randomness it can promise in environments
//! with few sources of entropy.
//!
//! ## Error handling
//!
//! We always choose failure over returning known insecure "random" bytes. In
//! general, on supported platforms, failure is highly unlikely, though not
//! impossible. If an error does occur, then it is likely that it will occur
//! on every call to `getrandom`, hence after the first successful call one
//! can be reasonably confident that no errors will occur.
