5RAND - pseudo-random number generator
6
7=head1 SYNOPSIS
8
9 #include <openssl/rand.h>
10
11 int RAND_bytes(unsigned char *buf, int num);
12 int RAND_pseudo_bytes(unsigned char *buf, int num);
13
14=head1 DESCRIPTION
15
16These functions give access to the systems cryptographically secure
17pseudo-random number generator (PRNG). It is used by other library functions
18for example to generate random keys, and applications can use it when they
19need randomness.
20
21L<RAND_bytes(3)|RAND_bytes(3)> describes how to obtain random data from the
22PRNG.
23
24=head1 INTERNALS
25
26The RAND_SSLeay() method implements a PRNG based on the systems'
27L<arc4random_buf(3)> random number generator.
