.TH EB_CLIENT_LINUX_KERNEL "1" "July 2012" "eb_client_linux_kernel" "User Commands"
.SH NAME
eb_client_linux_kernel \- send entropy data to /dev/random
.SH DESCRIPTION
eb_client_linux_kernel v1.0, (C) 2009-2012 by folkert@vanheusden.com
To keep the entropy buffer of the local linux kernel filled-up, start client_linux_kernel as a root user. If you want the kernel buffers to be filled much earlier (the default is when it only has 128 bits left), then write a new value to: "/proc/sys/kernel/random/write_wakeup_threshold". E.g. 512.
