Found the answer to my question and that the tool to use depends on what
platform your on.
Thought it might have been a generic tool or option in openssl hence my subject
not being specific to an OS.
In AIX a command to trace this would be truss.
For a very short output:
truss -topen openssl rand 2
For a bit more info:
truss -topen,kread,close openssl rand 2
For the whole thing:
truss openssl rand 2
Note: The truss output is on stderr not stdout.
In my case I'm looking for the dev devices in the output.
I get:
open("/dev/urandom", O_RDONLY|O_NOCTTY|O_NONBLOCK) = 3
kread(3, "8D97 ½1A998D à â\f ¯ Ú82".., 32) = 32
close(3) = 0
I thought it may not be using a random device due to some performance issues
but now see it is.
Taking a look at a few other possible reasons.
