     RAND(1)		    6/Sep/2001 (0.9.7e)		       RAND(1)

     NAME
	  rand - generate pseudo-random bytes

     SYNOPSIS
	  openssl rand [-out file] [-rand file(s)] [-base64] num

     DESCRIPTION
	  The rand command outputs num pseudo-random bytes after
	  seeding the random number generator once.  As in other
	  openssl command line tools, PRNG seeding uses the file
	  $HOME/.rnd or .rnd in addition to the files given in the
	  -rand option.	 A new $HOME/.rnd or .rnd file will be written
	  back if enough seeding was obtained from these sources.

     OPTIONS
	  -out file
	      Write to file instead of standard output.

	  -rand file(s)
	      Use specified file or files or EGD socket (see
	      RAND_egd(3)) for seeding the random number generator.
	      Multiple files can be specified separated by a
	      OS-dependent character.  The separator is ; for
	      MS-Windows, , for OpenVMS, and : for all others.

	  -base64
	      Perform base64 encoding on the output.
