.Dt CAP_RANDOM 3
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm cap_random_buf
.Nd "library for getting entropy in capability mode"
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libcap_random
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In sys/nv.h
.In libcasper.h
.In casper/cap_random.h
.Ft "int"
.Fn cap_random_buf "cap_channel_t *chan" "void *buf" "size_t nbytes"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The function
.Fn cap_random_buf
is equivalent to
.Xr arc4random_buf 3
except that the connection to the
.Nm system.random
service needs to be provided.
.Sh EXAMPLES
The following example first opens a capability to casper and then uses this
capability to create the
.Nm system.random
casper service to obtain entropy.
.Bd -literal
cap_channel_t *capcas, *caprandom;
unsigned char buf[16];
int i;
/* Open capability to Casper. */
capcas = cap_init();
if (capcas == NULL)
err(1, "Unable to contact Casper");
/* Enter capability mode sandbox. */
if (cap_enter() < 0 && errno != ENOSYS)
err(1, "Unable to enter capability mode");
/* Use Casper capability to create capability to the system.random service. */
caprandom = cap_service_open(capcas, "system.random");
if (caprandom == NULL)
err(1, "Unable to open system.random service");
/* Close Casper capability, we don't need it anymore. */
cap_close(capcas);
/* Obtain entropy. */
if (cap_random_buf(caprandom, buf, sizeof(buf)) < 0)
err(1, "Unable to obtain entropy");
for (i = 0; i < sizeof(buf); i++)
printf("%.2x ", buf[i]);
printf("\\n");
