.. \*(C` and \*(C' are quotes 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 "EVP_RAND-TEST-RAND 7" For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
EVP_RAND-TEST-RAND - The test EVP_RAND implementation Header "DESCRIPTION" Support for a test generator through the EVP_RAND API. This generator is for test purposes only, it does not generate random numbers. Subsection "Identity" "TEST-RAND" is the name for this implementation; it can be used with the \fBEVP_RAND_fetch() function. Subsection "Supported parameters" The supported parameters are: Item """state"" (OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STATE) <integer>" These parameter works as described in "PARAMETERS" in EVP_RAND\|(3). Item """strength"" (OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STRENGTH) <unsigned integer>"

0

Item """reseed_requests"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_REQUESTS) <unsigned integer>" Item """reseed_time_interval"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_TIME_INTERVAL) <integer>" Item """max_request"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_REQUESTS) <unsigned integer>" Item """min_entropylen"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MIN_ENTROPYLEN) <unsigned integer>" Item """max_entropylen"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_ENTROPYLEN) <unsigned integer>" Item """min_noncelen"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MIN_NONCELEN) <unsigned integer>" Item """max_noncelen"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_NONCELEN) <unsigned integer>" Item """max_perslen"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_PERSLEN) <unsigned integer>" Item """max_adinlen"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_ADINLEN) <unsigned integer>" Item """reseed_counter"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_COUNTER) <unsigned integer>"

These parameters work as described in "PARAMETERS" in EVP_RAND\|(3), except that they can all be set as well as read.

Item """test_entropy"" (OSSL_RAND_PARAM_TEST_ENTROPY) <octet string>" Sets the bytes returned when the test generator is sent an entropy request. The current position is remembered across generate calls. If there are insufficient data present to satisfy a call, an error is returned. Item """test_nonce"" (OSSL_RAND_PARAM_TEST_NONCE) <octet string>" Sets the bytes returned when the test generator is sent a nonce request. Each nonce request will return all of the bytes. Header "NOTES" A context for a test generator can be obtained by calling:

.Vb 2 EVP_RAND *rand = EVP_RAND_fetch(NULL, "TEST-RAND", NULL); EVP_RAND_CTX *rctx = EVP_RAND_CTX_new(rand); .Ve
