//! random -- print random bytes from the kernel's entropy source.
//!
//!   random            16 random bytes as hex (a fresh 128-bit id)
//!   random -n 32      32 bytes as hex
//!   random -d 6 [N]   roll N dice with 6 sides (default 1 die)
//!
//! The bytes come from the `getrandom` system call (Linux number 318),
//! which the kernel fills from the virtio-rng device, i.e. from the host's
//! /dev/urandom. /dev/random and /dev/urandom read the same source.
