=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RAND_file_name() generates a default path for the random seed
|
|
|
|
file. B<buf> points to a buffer of size B<num> in which to store the
|
2016-06-15 23:14:30 +08:00
|
|
|
filename.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On Windows the seed file is %RANDFILE% if that environment variable is set.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise the file is called ".rnd" in one of the following locations (in order
|
|
|
|
of preference): %TMP%, %TEMP%, %USERPROFILE%, %SYSTEMROOT%, %HOME%, "C:".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On all other systems the seed file is $RANDFILE if that environment variable is
|
|
|
|
set, $HOME/.rnd otherwise.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If $HOME (on non Windows systems) is not set either, or B<num> is
|
2000-01-22 01:50:27 +08:00
|
|
|
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,
|
2016-03-20 23:51:06 +08:00
|
|
|
up to B<max_bytes> are read;
|
2000-02-25 02:19:50 +08:00
|
|
|
if B<max_bytes> is -1, the complete file is read.
|
2000-01-22 01:50:27 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RAND_write_file() writes a number of random bytes (currently 1024) to
|
2000-01-27 09:50:42 +08:00
|
|
|
file B<filename> which can be used to initialize the PRNG by calling
|
2000-01-22 01:50:27 +08:00
|
|
|
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.
