17=head1 DESCRIPTION
18
19These functions used to allow for the random number generator functions
20to be replaced by arbitrary code.
21
22They are kept for ABI compatibility but are no longer functional, and
23should not be used in new programs.

29=head1 HISTORY
30
31RAND_set_rand_method(), RAND_get_rand_method() and RAND_SSLeay() are
32available in all versions of OpenSSL.
33
34In the engine version of version 0.9.6, RAND_set_rand_method() was altered to
35take an ENGINE pointer as its argument. As of version 0.9.7, that has been
36reverted as the ENGINE API transparently overrides RAND defaults if used,
37otherwise RAND API functions work as before. RAND_set_rand_engine() was also
38introduced in version 0.9.7.
