2 This is a random number generator daemon.
3
4 It monitors a hardware random number generator, and supplies entropy
5 from that to the system kernel's /dev/random machinery.
6
7 It is hoped that future contributions will enable entropy gathering
8 from other sources, such as audio hardware or video hardware or CPU
9 instruction pointers, to provide entropy even in cases where a true
10 hardware RNG is not present.
