-=head1 NAME
-
-rand - generate pseudo-random bytes
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
-B<openssl rand>
-[B<-out> I<file>]
-[B<-rand> I<file(s)>]
-[B<-base64>]
-[B<-hex>]
-I<num>
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-The B<rand> command outputs I<num> pseudo-random bytes after seeding
-the random number generator once. As in other B<openssl> command
-line tools, PRNG seeding uses the file I<$HOME/>B<.rnd> or B<.rnd>
-in addition to the files given in the B<-rand> option. A new
-I<$HOME>/B<.rnd> or B<.rnd> file will be written back if enough
-seeding was obtained from these sources.
-
-=head1 OPTIONS
-
-=over 4
-
-=item B<-out> I<file>
-
-Write to I<file> instead of standard output.
-
-=item B<-rand> I<file(s)>
-
-Use specified file or files or EGD socket (see L<RAND_egd(3)|RAND_egd(3)>)
-for seeding the random number generator.
-Multiple files can be specified separated by a OS-dependent character.
-The separator is B<;> for MS-Windows, B<,> for OpenVMS, and B<:> for
-all others.
-
-=item B<-base64>
-
-Perform base64 encoding on the output.
-
-=item B<-hex>
-
-Show the output as a hex string.
