NAME

6       RAND_cleanup - erase the PRNG state
7

SYNOPSIS

9        #include <openssl/rand.h>
10
11       The following function has been deprecated since OpenSSL 1.1.0, and can
12       be hidden entirely by defining OPENSSL_API_COMPAT with a suitable
13       version value, see openssl_user_macros(7):
14
15        void RAND_cleanup(void);
16

DESCRIPTION

18       Prior to OpenSSL 1.1.0, RAND_cleanup() released all resources used by
19       the PRNG.  As of version 1.1.0, it does nothing and should not be
20       called, since no explicit initialisation or de-initialisation is
21       necessary. See OPENSSL_init_crypto(3).
22

RETURN VALUES

24       RAND_cleanup() returns no value.
