=head1 DESCRIPTION
-RAND_DRBG_new() and RAND_DRBG_secure_new()
-create a new DRBG instance of the given B<type>, allocated from the heap resp.
-the secure heap
-(using OPENSSL_zalloc() resp. OPENSSL_secure_zalloc()).
+RAND_DRBG_new_ex() and RAND_DRBG_secure_new_ex() create a new DRBG instance
+of the given B<type> for the given OPENSSL_CTX <ctx>.
+The <ctx> parameter can be NULL in which case the default OPENSSL_CTX is used.
+RAND_DRBG_new() and RAND_DRBG_secure_new() are the same as RAND_DRBG_new_ex()
+and RAND_DRBG_secure_new_ex() except that the default OPENSSL_CTX is always
+used.
+As of OpenSSL 3.0, there is no different between the new and secure_new
+functions.
RAND_DRBG_set() initializes the B<drbg> with the given B<type> and B<flags>.
+This function is deprecated. Applications should instead use
+RAND_DRBG_new_ex() to create a new DRBG.
RAND_DRBG_set_defaults() sets the default B<type> and B<flags> for new DRBG
instances.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
-RAND_DRBG_new() and RAND_DRBG_secure_new() return a pointer to a DRBG
-instance allocated on the heap, resp. secure heap.
+RAND_DRBG_new_ex(), RAND_DRBG_new(), RAND_DRBG_secure_new_ex() and
+RAND_DRBG_secure_new() return a pointer to a DRBG instance allocated on the
+heap.
RAND_DRBG_set(),
RAND_DRBG_instantiate(), and
RAND_DRBG_set_defaults() before creating any thread and before calling any
cryptographic routines that obtain random data directly or indirectly.
+As of OpenSSL 3.0, RAND_DRBG_new() and RAND_DRBG_secure_new() are
+functionally identical. The DRBG is allocated on the normal heap and its
+sensitive state is allocated on the secure heap. Likewise for,
+RAND_DRBG_new_ex() and RAND_DRBG_secure_new_ex().

=head1 HISTORY
+The RAND_DRBG_set() function was deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
+
The RAND_DRBG functions were added in OpenSSL 1.1.1.
