Function silc_rng_global_get_byte_fast SYNOPSIS
        SilcUInt8 silc_rng_global_get_byte_fast(void);
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.
