EB_SERVER_EGD(1)

✨ NAME ✨

eb_server_egd — okay so bestie, this is the eb_server_egd(1) page from the User Commands section, and its whole thing is: gather entropy on systems with an EntropyKey or EGD. That's the name, that's the mission, periodt. 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

eb_server_egd v1.0, (C) 2009-2012 by folkert@vanheusden.com — yep, that's the version and copyright line, and I am not leaving a single character out, fr fr. ✨

And now the flags, bestie. Every single one. No skipping, no summarizing, we are eating this whole list. 💅

🎀 flags, fr fr 🎀

• -i host — the eb-host to connect to. That's the host you're connecting to, bestie. 🫶
• -d path — the unix domain socket to read from. It's giving socket path energy. 🦋
• -o file — the file to write entropy data to. It's (mututal exclusive with -i) — yes, that's the original spelling, and it means don't do this one and -i at the same time. 🙈
• -a x — bytes per interval to read from egd, where the bytes-per-interval value is x. 🔥
• -b x — the interval for reading data, where that interval is x. ⭐
• -l file — log to file file. The file is literally called file in the manual, iykyk. 🌸
• -s — log to syslog. Syslog bestie, slay. 💜
• -n — do not fork. No forking, periodt. 💅
• -P file — file to write the PID to. PID goes in file. 👑
• -X file — file to read the password from. Password comes from file. 🎀

💖 mwah, bye bestie 💖 — this was eb_server_egd, from July 2012, manual page EB_SERVER_EGD(1). You ate that, fr fr. 💅✨
