Unlike other Rand crates, this crate does not support `no_std` -(handling this gracefully is a current discussion topic). +This crate provides `OsRng` as a shim around +[getrandom](https://crates.io/crates/getrandom) +implementing `RngCore` from [rand_core](https://crates.io/crates/rand_core). + +Note: the `rand` crate provides an equivalent `OsRng`; the two implementations +are equivalent, though distinct types.
