.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
"NAME"
RAND_set_DRBG_type, RAND_set_seed_source_type \- specify the global random number generator types
"SYNOPSIS"
Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/rand.h> \& int RAND_set_DRBG_type(OSSL_LIB_CTX *ctx, const char *drbg, const char *propq, const char *cipher, const char *digest); int RAND_set_seed_source_type(OSSL_LIB_CTX *ctx, const char *seed, const char *propq); .Ve
"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" \fBRAND_set_DRBG_type() specifies the random bit generator that will be used within the library context ctx. A generator of name drbg with properties propq will be fetched. It will be instantiated with either cipher or digest as its underlying cryptographic algorithm. This specifies the type that will be used for the primary, public and private random instances.

\fBRAND_set_seed_source_type() specifies the seed source that will be used within the library context ctx. The seed source of name seed with properties propq will be fetched and used to seed the primary random big generator.

"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" These function return 1 on success and 0 on failure.
"NOTES"
Header "NOTES" These functions must be called before the random bit generators are first created in the library context. They will return an error if the call is made too late.

The default \s-1DRBG\s0 is \*(L"CTR-DRBG\*(R" using the \*(L"\s-1AES-256-CTR\*(R"\s0 cipher.

The default seed source is \*(L"SEED-SRC\*(R".

"SEE ALSO"
Header "SEE ALSO" \s-1EVP_RAND\s0\|(3), \fBRAND_get0_primary\|(3)
"HISTORY"
Header "HISTORY" These functions were added in OpenSSL 3.0.
