|

random.4
|
||||
Elie De Brauwer
|
||||
Document write and document the ioctl interface of /dev/random
|
||||
The update consists out of two parts:
|
||||
- a minor thing which just documents what happens if a write to
|
||||
/dev/(u)random is performed, which is used in the example
|
||||
script but not explicitly mentioned.
|
||||
- the other (biggest) part is the documentation of the ioctl()
|
||||
interface which /dev/(u)random exposes. This ioctl() lives in
|
||||
drivers/char/random.c and the primitives can be found in
|
||||
include/linux/random.h
|
||||
|
||||
One comment remains, there used to be an RNDGETPOOL ioctl() which
|
||||
disappeared in v2.6.9. I found two patches on the net:
|
||||
- http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.8.1/2.6.8.1-mm4/broken-out/dev-random-remove-rndgetpool-ioctl.patch
|
||||
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2004/3/25/168
|
||||
|
||||
But as far as I can tell the first one got applied but the 2nd
|
||||
one seems more correct. The result is that even today one can
|
||||
still find traces of the RNDGETPOOL ioctl() in the header files.
|
||||
Is this there for historical reasons or because it might break
|
||||
userspace, even though using it will just give an EINVAL.
