Not that I disagree with you, but which are the official man pages for /dev/urandom? It's my recollection that the advice therein varies from OS to OS.

- segfaultbuserr 8y agoThis page is part of release 4.16 of the Linux man-pages project. A description of the project, information about reporting bugs, and the latest version of this page, can be found at https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/ https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/. And only Linux has /dev/urandom.
