RAND_set_rand_method, RAND_get_rand_method, RAND_SSLeay - select RAND
method
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/rand.h>
void RAND_set_rand_method(const RAND_METHOD *meth);
const RAND_METHOD *RAND_get_rand_method(void);
RAND_METHOD *RAND_SSLeay(void);
DESCRIPTION
These functions used to allow for the random number generator functions
to be replaced by arbitrary code.
They are kept for ABI compatibility but are no longer functional, and
should not be used in new programs.
SEE ALSOrand(3)HISTORYRAND_set_rand_method(), RAND_get_rand_method() and RAND_SSLeay() are
available in all versions of OpenSSL.
In the engine version of version 0.9.6, RAND_set_rand_method() was
altered to take an ENGINE pointer as its argument. As of version 0.9.7,
that has been reverted as the ENGINE API transparently overrides RAND
defaults if used, otherwise RAND API functions work as before.
RAND_set_rand_engine() was also introduced in version 0.9.7.
