B points to a buffer of size B in which to store the +filename. + +On all systems, if the environment variable B is set, its +value will be used as the seed file name. + +Otherwise, the file is called ".rnd", found in platform dependent locations: + +=over 4 + +=item On Windows (in order of preference) + +%HOME%, %USERPROFILE%, %SYSTEMROOT%, C:\ + +=item On VMS + +SYS$LOGIN: + +=item On all other systems + +$HOME + +=back + +If C<$HOME> (on non-Windows and non-VMS system) is not set either, or +B is too small for the path name, an error occurs. + +RAND_load_file() reads a number of bytes from file B and +adds them to the PRNG. If B is non-negative, +up to B are read; +if B is -1, the complete file is read. + +RAND_write_file() writes a number of random bytes (currently 1024) to +file B 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 or -1 on error. + +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 on success, and NULL on +error. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L, L, L + +=head1 COPYRIGHT + +Copyright 2000-2016 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
