Re: using /dev/random

[Wojciech Puchar]

        What is the canonical way to get data from /dev/random?
Specifically: having opened the file, how do I read the stream?
I'm currently using


 union {
   float f;
   char c[4];
 } foo;

 foo.f = 0.0;

 fscanf(rand_fp,"%4c",foo.c);

simply read 4 bytes into foo
