* Slight overhaul of arc4random() and friends.phk2002-10-111-6/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One bug fixed: Use getmicrouptime() to trigger reseeds so that we cannot be tricked by a clock being stepped backwards. Express parameters in natural units and with natural names. Don't use struct timeval more than we need to. Various stylistic and readability polishing. Introduce arc4rand(void *ptr, u_int len, int reseed) function which returns a stream of pseudo-random bytes, observing the automatic reseed criteria as well as allowing forced reseeds. Rewrite arc4random() in terms of arc4rand(). Sponsored by: DARPA & NAI Labs.
* Update the prototype for read_random to reflect that the count parameterdavidc2002-04-121-2/+2
