<p>This function returns an error on any failure, including partial reads. We
make no guarantees regarding the contents of <code>dest</code> on error. If <code>dest</code> is
empty, <code>getrandom</code> immediately returns success, making no calls to the
underlying operating system.</p>
<p>Blocking is possible, at least during early boot; see module documentation.</p>
<p>In general, <code>getrandom</code> will be fast enough for interactive usage, though
significantly slower than a user-space CSPRNG; for the latter consider
<a href="https://docs.rs/rand/*/rand/fn.thread_rng.html"><code>rand::thread_rng</code></a>.</p>
