+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+The default \s-1RAND API\s0 implementation (\fBRAND_OpenSSL()\fR) utilizes three
+shared \s-1DRBG\s0 instances which are accessed via the \s-1RAND API:\s0
+.PP
+The \fIpublic\fR and \fIprivate\fR \s-1DRBG\s0 are thread-local instances, which are used
+by \fBRAND_bytes()\fR and \fBRAND_priv_bytes()\fR, respectively.
+The \fIprimary\fR \s-1DRBG\s0 is a global instance, which is not intended to be used
+directly, but is used internally to reseed the other two instances.
+.PP
+These functions here provide access to the shared \s-1DRBG\s0 instances.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
+\&\fBRAND_get0_primary()\fR returns a pointer to the \fIprimary\fR \s-1DRBG\s0 instance
+for the given \s-1OSSL_LIB_CTX\s0 \fBctx\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBRAND_get0_public()\fR returns a pointer to the \fIpublic\fR \s-1DRBG\s0 instance
+for the given \s-1OSSL_LIB_CTX\s0 \fBctx\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBRAND_get0_private()\fR returns a pointer to the \fIprivate\fR \s-1DRBG\s0 instance
+for the given \s-1OSSL_LIB_CTX\s0 \fBctx\fR.
+.PP
+In all the above cases the \fBctx\fR parameter can
+be \s-1NULL\s0 in which case the default \s-1OSSL_LIB_CTX\s0 is used.
+.SH "NOTES"
+.IX Header "NOTES"
+It is not thread-safe to access the \fIprimary\fR \s-1DRBG\s0 instance.
+The \fIpublic\fR and \fIprivate\fR \s-1DRBG\s0 instance can be accessed safely, because
+they are thread-local. Note however, that changes to these two instances
+apply only to the current thread.
+.PP
+For that reason it is recommended not to change the settings of these
+three instances directly.
+Instead, an application should change the default settings for new \s-1DRBG\s0 instances
+at initialization time, before creating additional threads.
+.PP
+During initialization, it is possible to change the reseed interval
+and reseed time interval.
+It is also possible to exchange the reseeding callbacks entirely.
+.PP
+To set the type of \s-1DRBG\s0 that will be instantiated, use the
+\&\fBRAND_set_DRBG_type\fR\|(3) call before accessing the random number generation
+infrastructure.
