<h1 id="NAME">NAME</h1>

<p>RAND_set_rand_method, RAND_get_rand_method, RAND_OpenSSL - select RAND method</p>

<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>

<pre><code> #include &lt;openssl/rand.h&gt;

 RAND_METHOD *RAND_OpenSSL(void);

 int RAND_set_rand_method(const RAND_METHOD *meth);

 const RAND_METHOD *RAND_get_rand_method(void);</code></pre>

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>A <b>RAND_METHOD</b> specifies the functions that OpenSSL uses for random number generation.</p>

<p>RAND_OpenSSL() returns the default <b>RAND_METHOD</b> implementation by OpenSSL. This implementation ensures that the PRNG state is unique for each thread.</p>

<p>If an <b>ENGINE</b> is loaded that provides the RAND API, however, it will be used instead of the method returned by RAND_OpenSSL().</p>

<p>RAND_set_rand_method() makes <b>meth</b> the method for PRNG use. If an ENGINE was providing the method, it will be released first.</p>

<p>RAND_get_rand_method() returns a pointer to the current <b>RAND_METHOD</b>.</p>

<h1 id="THE-RAND_METHOD-STRUCTURE">THE RAND_METHOD STRUCTURE</h1>

<pre><code> typedef struct rand_meth_st {
     int (*seed)(const void *buf, int num);
     int (*bytes)(unsigned char *buf, int num);
     void (*cleanup)(void);
     int (*add)(const void *buf, int num, double entropy);
     int (*pseudorand)(unsigned char *buf, int num);
     int (*status)(void);
 } RAND_METHOD;</code></pre>

<p>The fields point to functions that are used by, in order, RAND_seed(), RAND_bytes(), internal RAND cleanup, RAND_add(), RAND_pseudo_rand() and RAND_status(). Each pointer may be NULL if the function is not implemented.</p>

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

<p>RAND_set_rand_method() returns 1 on success and 0 on failure. RAND_get_rand_method() and RAND_OpenSSL() return pointers to the respective methods.</p>
