 OpenSSL makes sure that the PRNG state is unique for each thread. On
 systems that provide C</dev/urandom>, the randomness device is used
 to seed the PRNG transparently. However, on all other systems, the

 or L<RAND_load_file(3)|RAND_load_file(3)>.
 
 RAND_seed() is equivalent to RAND_add() when B<num == entropy>.
 
+RAND_event() collects the entropy from Windows events such as mouse
+movements and other user interaction. It should be called with the
+B<iMsg>, B<wParam> and B<lParam> arguments of I<all> messages sent to
+the window procedure. It will estimate the entropy contained in the
+event message (if any), and add it to the PRNG. The program can then
+process the messages as usual.
+
 The RAND_screen() function is available for the convenience of Windows
 programmers. It adds the current contents of the screen to the PRNG.
-For applications that can catch Windows events, seeding the PRNG with
-the parameters of B<WM_MOUSEMOVE> events is a significantly better
-source of randomness. It should be noted that both methods cannot be
-used on servers that run without user interaction.
