## Description
|
||||
|
||||
Function passes `dest` and `size` into [`RAND_bytes`](https://docs.openssl.org/1.1.1/man3/RAND_bytes) function and gets the output value. If output value is equal to `1`, returns `true`, otherwise `false`.
|
||||
|
||||
`dest` is where the output value should be stored, `size` sets the allowed size to write. Should be `sizeof(dest_datatype)`.
