----------
+General functions
+-----------------
+
+.. function:: uname()
+
+   Return a tuple (possibly a named tuple) containing information about the
+   underlying machine and/or its operating system.  The tuple has five fields
+   in the following order, each of them being a string:
+
+        * ``sysname`` -- the name of the underlying system
+        * ``nodename`` -- the network name (can be the same as ``sysname``)
+        * ``release`` -- the version of the underlying system
+        * ``version`` -- the MicroPython version and build date
+        * ``machine`` -- an identifier for the underlying hardware (eg board, CPU)
+
+.. function:: urandom(n)
+
+   Return a bytes object with *n* random bytes. Whenever possible, it is
+   generated by the hardware random number generator.
