B<buf> points to a buffer of size B<num> in which to store the -filename. The seed file is $RANDFILE if that environment variable is -set, $HOME/.rnd otherwise. If $HOME is not set either, or B<num> is -too small for the path name, an error occurs. - -RAND_load_file() reads a number of bytes from file B<filename> and -adds them to the PRNG. If B<max_bytes> is non-negative, -up to to B<max_bytes> are read; starting with OpenSSL 0.9.5, -if B<max_bytes> is -1, the complete file is read. - -RAND_write_file() writes a number of random bytes (currently 1024) to -file B<filename> which can be used to initialize the PRNG by calling -RAND_load_file() in a later session. - -=head1 RETURN VALUES - -RAND_load_file() returns the number of bytes read. - -RAND_write_file() returns the number of bytes written, and -1 if the -bytes written were generated without appropriate seed. - -RAND_file_name() returns a pointer to B<buf> on success, and NULL on -error. - -=head1 SEE ALSO - -L<rand(3)|rand(3)>, L<RAND_add(3)|RAND_add(3)>, L<RAND_cleanup(3)|RAND_cleanup(3)> - -=head1 HISTORY - -RAND_load_file(), RAND_write_file() and RAND_file_name() are available in -all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL. - -=cut |
