RAND_CLEANUP(3ossl)                 OpenSSL                RAND_CLEANUP(3ossl)



NAME

       RAND_cleanup - erase the PRNG state


SYNOPSIS

        #include <openssl/rand.h>

       The following function has been deprecated since OpenSSL 1.1.0, and can
       be hidden entirely by defining OPENSSL_API_COMPAT with a suitable
       version value, see openssl_user_macros(7):

        void RAND_cleanup(void);


DESCRIPTION

       Prior to OpenSSL 1.1.0, RAND_cleanup(3) released all resources used by
       the PRNG.  As of version 1.1.0, it does nothing and should not be
       called, since no explicit initialisation or de-initialisation is
       necessary. See OPENSSL_init_crypto(3).


RETURN VALUES

       RAND_cleanup(3) returns no value.


SEE ALSO

       RAND(7)


HISTORY

       RAND_cleanup(3) was deprecated in OpenSSL 1.1.0; do not use it.  See
       OPENSSL_init_crypto(3)
