How would you access randomization at the system level? No via

I intend to take a 512 or 1024, for example, size chunk and fill
that with system randomization. Not what you get with srand and rand I
believe they are inferior to system randomization.
Open /dev/random as a binary file and read however many bytes you want.
I assume you know that the amount of data available from there is
limited and if you ask for too much, you might have to wait a while for
it to get generated.
