openssl rand question

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When trying to generate a file of psuedo random numbers the following
command does not work:
openssl rand -out a_file.txt 5000

however the following does
openssl rand 5000 > a_file.txt

why does the -out switch not work?
