-RAND_pseudo_bytes() puts B<num> pseudo-random bytes into B<buf>.
-Pseudo-random byte sequences generated by RAND_pseudo_bytes() will be
-unique if they are of sufficient length, but are not necessarily
-unpredictable. They can be used for non-cryptographic purposes and for
-certain purposes in cryptographic protocols, but usually not for key
-generation etc.
+RAND_pseudo_bytes() has been deprecated; use RAND_bytes() instead.
 
 The contents of B<buf> is mixed into the entropy pool before retrieving
 the new pseudo-random bytes unless disabled at compile time (see FAQ).

-RAND_bytes() returns 1 on success, 0 otherwise. The error code can be
-obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>. RAND_pseudo_bytes() returns 1 if the
-bytes generated are cryptographically strong, 0 otherwise. Both
-functions return -1 if they are not supported by the current RAND
-method.
+RAND_bytes() returns 1 on success, -1 if not supported by the current
+RAND method, or 0 on other failure. The error code can be
