=head1 NAME

RAND_DRBG_get0_master,
RAND_DRBG_get0_public,
RAND_DRBG_get0_private
- get access to the global RAND_DRBG instances

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/rand_drbg.h>

 RAND_DRBG *RAND_DRBG_get0_master(void);
 RAND_DRBG *RAND_DRBG_get0_public(void);
 RAND_DRBG *RAND_DRBG_get0_private(void);


=head1 DESCRIPTION

The default RAND API implementation (RAND_OpenSSL()) utilizes three
shared DRBG instances which are accessed via the RAND API:

The <public> and <private> DRBG are thread-local instances, which are used
by RAND_bytes() and RAND_priv_bytes(), respectively.
The <master> DRBG is a global instance, which is not intended to be used
directly, but is used internally to reseed the other two instances.

These functions here provide access to the shared DRBG instances.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

RAND_DRBG_get0_master() returns a pointer to the <master> DRBG instance.

RAND_DRBG_get0_public() returns a pointer to the <public> DRBG instance.

RAND_DRBG_get0_private() returns a pointer to the <private> DRBG instance.


=head1 NOTES

It is not thread-safe to access the <master> DRBG instance.
The <public> and <private> DRBG instance can be accessed safely, because
they are thread-local. Note however, that changes to these two instances
apply only to the current thread.

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 DRBG instances
at initialization time, before creating additional threads.

During initialization, it is possible to change the reseed interval
and reseed time interval.
It is also possible to exchange the reseeding callbacks entirely.
