 RAND_file_name() generates a default path for the random seed
 file. B<buf> points to a buffer of size B<num> in which to store the
-filename. The seed file is $RANDFILE, if that environment variable is
-set, $HOME/.rand otherwise. If $HOME is not set either, or B<num> is
+filename. The seed file is $RANDFILE if that environment variable is
+set, $HOME/.rnd otherwise. If $HOME is not set either, or B<num> is
 too small for the path name, an error occurs.
 
-RAND_load_file() reads up to B<max_bytes> from file B<filename> and
-adds them to the PRNG.
+RAND_load_file() reads a number of bytes from file B<filename> and
+adds them to the PRNG. If B<max_bytes> is non-negative,
+up to to B<max_bytes> are read; if B<max_bytes> is -1, the complete file
+is read.
 
 RAND_write_file() writes a number of random bytes (currently 1024) to
-file B<filename> which can be used to initialze the PRNG by calling
+file B<filename> which can be used to initialize the PRNG by calling
 RAND_load_file() in a later session.
