/* mcookie - generate a 128-bit random number (used for X "magic cookies")
 *
 * Copyright 2019 AD Isaac Dunham <ibid.ag@gmail.com>
 *
 * No standard.
 * util-linux mcookie originally found the md5sum of several files in /proc
 * and reported that; more recent versions use the best random number source
 * and find the md5sum, thus wasting entropy.
 * We just ask the system for 128 bits and print it.

    Generate a 128-bit random number from system sources.
    -f and -m are not supported; md5 sums of arbitrary files are not a
        good source of entropy
