# Private helpers of profile.d/pwd.sh, loaded by the module itself.
# Pool of random words read from /dev/urandom, refilled by _pwd_rand.
_PWD_POOL=()
# Internal helper: put in _PWD_RAND an integer uniformly distributed in
# [0, $1), for 1 <= $1 <= 2^32. $RANDOM is NOT usable for passwords: it only
# has 15 bits, a state seeded from the time and the PID, and is predictable.
# The source is $SRANDOM (bash >= 5.1, from the kernel's random generator), or
# else /dev/urandom read through od, 256 words at a time to limit the number
# of processes. Values above the largest multiple of $1 are rejected, so that
# "% $1" introduces no bias.
# Usage: _pwd_rand <max>
