-BN_rand() generates a cryptographically strong pseudo-random number of
-B<bits> in length and stores it in B<rnd>.
+BN_rand_ex() generate a cryptographically strong pseudo-random
+number of B<bits> in length and stores it in B<rnd> using the random number
+generator for the library context associated with B<ctx>. The parameter B<ctx>
+may be NULL in which case the default library context is used.
 If B<bits> is less than zero, or too small to
 accommodate the requirements specified by the B<top> and B<bottom>
 parameters, an error is returned.
