|
||||
|
||||
The B<rand> command outputs I<num> pseudo-random bytes after seeding
|
||||
the random number generator once. As in other B<openssl> command
|
||||
line tools, PRNG seeding uses the file I<$HOME/>B<.rnd> or B<.rnd>
|
||||
in addition to the files given in the B<-rand> option. A new
|
||||
I<$HOME>/B<.rnd> or B<.rnd> file will be written back if enough
|
||||
seeding was obtained from these sources.
|
||||
This command outputs I<num> pseudo-random bytes after seeding
|
||||
the random number generator once.

A file or files containing random data used to seed the random number

Multiple files can be specified separated by an OS-dependent character.

The separator is B<;> for MS-Windows, B<,> for OpenVMS, and B<:> for

all others.
