    share/man/man9       random.9 
  Log:
  Slight overhaul of arc4random() and friends.
  
  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().
