BN_rand_range() generates a cryptographically strong pseudo-random
-number B<rnd> in the range B<min> E<lt>= B<rnd> E<lt> B<min> + B<range>.
-B<min> may be NULL, in that case 0 E<lt>= B<rnd> E<lt> B<range>.
+number B<rnd> in the range 0 <lt>= B<rnd> E<lt> B<range>.
The PRNG must be seeded prior to calling BN_rand() or BN_rand_range().
