Christian Ehrhardt 4afbeaeeaf tests: read limited amount from /dev/urandom
In some test environments like e.g. Ubuntu & Debian autopkgtest it
can happen that while generating random device names the pipes
between tr and head are considered dead while processing.
That prints (non fatal) issues like:
  Running ip/link/new_link.t [iproute2-this/4.13.0-17-generic]: tr:
write error: Broken pipe
  tr: write error
  PASS

This only happens if reading an infinite amount of chars with the
read from urandom, so reading a defined amount fixes the issue.

README

This is a set of utilities for Linux networking.

Information:
    http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/iproute2

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm

arpd needs to have the db4 development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdb4.x-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines.  Often this is in the db-devel package.

2. make

The makefile will automatically build a config.mk file which
contains definitions of libraries that may or may not be available
on the system such as: ATM, ELF, MNL, and SELINUX.

3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
   look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
   PAGESIZE=a4		, ie: a4 , letter ...	(string)
   PAGESPERPAGE=2	, ie: 1 , 2 ...		(numeric)
   and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
   are in your path.

4. This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
   the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
   if you have special requirements and need to point at different
   kernel include files.
