4 | ||
5 | rand_bytes_ex, rand_priv_bytes_ex | |
6 | - internal random number routines | |
7 | ||
8 | =head1 SYNOPSIS | |
9 | ||
25f2138b | 10 | #include "crypto/rand.h" |
6694e51d MC |
11 | |
12 | int rand_bytes_ex(OPENSSL_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *buf, int num); | |
13 | int rand_priv_bytes_ex(OPENSSL_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *buf, int num); | |
14 | ||
15 | =head1 DESCRIPTION | |
16 | ||
17 | rand_bytes_ex() and rand_priv_bytes_ex() are the equivalent of RAND_bytes() and | |
18 | RAND_priv_bytes() in the public API except that they both take an additional | |
dfabee82 | 19 | I<ctx> parameter. |
6694e51d | 20 | The DRBG used for the operation is the public or private DRBG associated with |
dfabee82 | 21 | the specified I<ctx>. The parameter can be NULL, in which case |
6694e51d MC |
22 | the default library ctx is used. |
23 | If the default RAND_METHOD has been changed then for compatibility reasons the | |
24 | RAND_METHOD will be used in preference and the DRBG of the library context | |
25 | ignored. | |
26 | ||
27 | =head1 RETURN VALUES | |
28 | ||
29 | rand_bytes_ex() and rand_bytes_priv_ex() return 0 or less on error or 1 on | |
30 | success. | |
