silc_rng_global_get_byte_fast

SYNOPSIS

    SilcUInt8 silc_rng_global_get_byte_fast(void);

DESCRIPTION

Returns one 8-bit random byte from the random number generator as fast as possible.

NOTES

This will read the data from /dev/urandom if it is available in the operating system, since this may be faster than retrieving a byte from the SILC RNG. If /dev/urandom is not available this will take the byte from SILC RNG and is effectively same as silc_rng_get_byte.
