Re: [opensuse] Why is Leap 42.2 missing /usr/include/sys/random.h?? (and no getrandom in linux/random.h)

Yes, yes, I have glibc-devel installed and I have /usr/include/linux/random.h, but notice:

it does not contain a prototype for getrandom()

This is kernel header, why should it contain user-space prototypes.

that's the funky missing part. With arch, it is now in sys/random.h, but

Compare glibc versions.

for leap, it should be in linux/random.h -- at least according to the man page on Leap. Checkout man getrandom.

man page is completely independent of either kernel or glibc. And this is already fixed in actual man-pages.

Why is the prototype missing?

Because it has never been in this file in the first place and glibc in Leap is too old to provide another file.
