.. 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'.

Title "RAND_DRBG_get0_master 3" For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
RAND_DRBG_get0_master, RAND_DRBG_get0_public, RAND_DRBG_get0_private \- get access to the global RAND_DRBG instances libcrypto, -lcrypto Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/rand_drbg.h> \& RAND_DRBG *RAND_DRBG_get0_master(void); RAND_DRBG *RAND_DRBG_get0_public(void); RAND_DRBG *RAND_DRBG_get0_private(void); .Ve Header "DESCRIPTION" The default \s-1RAND API\s0 implementation (RAND_OpenSSL()) utilizes three shared \s-1DRBG\s0 instances which are accessed via the \s-1RAND API:\s0

The <public> and <private> \s-1DRBG\s0 are thread-local instances, which are used by RAND_bytes() and RAND_priv_bytes(), respectively. The <master> \s-1DRBG\s0 is a global instance, which is not intended to be used directly, but is used internally to reseed the other two instances.

These functions here provide access to the shared \s-1DRBG\s0 instances.

Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBRAND_DRBG_get0_master() returns a pointer to the <master> \s-1DRBG\s0 instance.

\fBRAND_DRBG_get0_public() returns a pointer to the <public> \s-1DRBG\s0 instance.

\fBRAND_DRBG_get0_private() returns a pointer to the <private> \s-1DRBG\s0 instance.

Header "NOTES" It is not thread-safe to access the <master> \s-1DRBG\s0 instance. The <public> and <private> \s-1DRBG\s0 instance can be accessed safely, because they are thread-local. Note however, that changes to these two instances apply only to the current thread.

For that reason it is recommended not to change the settings of these three instances directly. Instead, an application should change the default settings for new \s-1DRBG\s0 instances at initialization time, before creating additional threads.

During initialization, it is possible to change the reseed interval and reseed time interval. It is also possible to exchange the reseeding callbacks entirely.
