//!
//! 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](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-bindgen) toolchain.
//!
//! This feature has no effect on targets other than `wasm32-unknown-unknown`.
//!
//! ### 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.
//!
//! ### Indirect Dependencies
//!
//! If `getrandom` is not a direct dependency of your crate, you can still
//! enable any of the above fallback behaviors by enabling the relevant
//! feature in your root crate's `Cargo.toml`:
//! ```toml
//! [dependencies]
//! getrandom = { version = "0.2", features = ["js"] }
//! ```
//!
//! ## 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.
//!
//! ## Error handling
//!
//! We always choose failure over returning 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.
