<h4><a name="RAND">Random Bytes Commands</a></h4>
These commands provide randomly generated byte strings.

	<em>?</em><b>-private</b><em>? length</em></a></dt>
    <dd>Generate <i>length</i> random bytes using a cryptographically secure
	pseudo random generator (CSPRNG). OpenSSL uses a security level of 256
	bits. Will return an error if a trusted entropy source such as the OS
	isn't available. Use <b>-private</b> option if the values are intended
	to remain private in case the public PRNG is compromised.</dd>
