=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This command generates I<num> random bytes using a cryptographically
|
||
|
|
secure pseudo random number generator (CSPRNG).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The random bytes are generated using the L<RAND_bytes(3)> function,
|
||
|
|
which provides a security level of 256 bits, provided it managed to
|
||
|
|
seed itself successfully from a trusted operating system entropy source.
|
||
|
|
Otherwise, the command will fail with a nonzero error code.
|
||
|
|
For more details, see L<RAND_bytes(3)>, L<RAND(7)>, and L<EVP_RAND(7)>.
