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

void RAND_cleanup(void);
DESCRIPTION
Prior to OpenSSL 1.1.0, RAND_cleanup() 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() returns no value.
SEE ALSO
RAND(7)
HISTORY
RAND_cleanup() was deprecated in OpenSSL 1.1.0; do not use it. See OPENSSL_init_crypto(3)
