RNG seeding on Unix.

This module provides the RNG Getrandom which calls getrandom () for each generate request. On BSD systems (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, macOS) getentropy () is used instead. On Windows 10 or higher, BCryptGenRandom() is used with the default RNG. Windows 8 or lower are not supported by this library.

val initialize : unit -> unit

initialize () will bring the RNG into a working state. initialize is idempotent as long as the default generator is unchanged. It is harmless to call it several times.
