Function silc_rng_get_byte_fast
SYNOPSIS
SilcUInt8 silc_rng_get_byte_fast(SilcRng rng);
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.
