rndbytes - generate blocks of random bytes
==========================================

Program invokation
------------------

rndbytes [<options>]

Options
-------

-b <size>		specifies the blocksize.
--blocksize=<size>

-n <number>		specifies the number of blocks to write
--nblocks=<number>	(0 can be used to create an ``endless'' sequence
			of blocks, the program may be interrupted by
			signals or -- on Windows -- by keyboard input).

-a <PRNGs>		specifies the set of allowed PRNGs
--prngs=<PRNGs>		(pseudo random  number generators)
			use either ``all'' or one or multiple
			(comma separated) choices from:
			openssl		the OpenSSL PRNG
			random		initstate()/setstate()/random()
			rand48		nrand48()
			rand		rand()

The program attempts to initialize the allowed PRNGs in the order
openssl, random, rand48 and rand. The first PRNG successfully initialized
will be used to generate random data for output.
For cryptographic purposes and authentication I recommend to use the
OpenSSL PRNG.

Permanent options
-----------------

rndbytes -c -b 1024 -n 1 -a all
rndbytes --configure --blocksize=1024 --nblocks=1 --prngs=all
	saves block size 1024, number of blocks 1 and allows to use all
	PRNGs available at the system.

rndbytes -C
rndbytes --show-configuration
	shows the saved defaults.

rndbytes -u
rndbytes --unconfigure
	removes the defaults saved by the user.

Help and version information
----------------------------

rndbytes -h
rndbytes --help
	shows this help text.


rndbytes -v
rndbytes --version
	shows version information.
