int RAND_pseudo_bytes(unsigned char *buf, int num);
DESCRIPTION
RAND_bytes() puts num cryptographically strong pseudo-random bytes
into buf. An error occurs if the PRNG has not been seeded with
enough randomness to ensure an unpredictable byte sequence.
RAND_pseudo_bytes() puts num pseudo-random bytes into buf.
Pseudo-random byte sequences generated by RAND_pseudo_bytes() will be
unique if they are of sufficient length, but are not necessarily
unpredictable. They can be used for non-cryptographic purposes and for
certain purposes in cryptographic protocols, but usually not for key
generation etc.
RETURN VALUES
RAND_bytes() returns 1 on success, 0 otherwise. The error code can be
obtained by ERR_get_error(3). RAND_pseudo_bytes() returns 1 if the
bytes generated are cryptographically strong, 0 otherwise. Both
functions return -1 if they are not supported by the current RAND
method.
RAND_bytes() is available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL. It
has a return value since OpenSSL 0.9.5. RAND_pseudo_bytes() was added
in OpenSSL 0.9.5.
