When an x509 is created using the openssl command it creates a default serial
number if one not supplied
How is this serial number created (algorithm) in general.

openssl req -x509  etcetera

The default serial number is quite long so just using time_t (long) to set
the serial number is not very long (four bytes). So I am interested in what
it does.
