   But why do you have the right to add a new function which doesn't follow OpenGroup or other Unix variant? If you have this right, does it mean I also can add any funcitons I like?
   getrandom has the same prototype in both FreeBSD and Linux:
   https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=getrandom&sektion=2&manpath=freebsd-release-ports
   https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/getrandom.2.html
   I don't think that there is any reason why we don't follow them.
