💖 EB_SERVER_EXT_PROC 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to eb_server_ext_proc — that's a User Command, section 1 of the manual, and yes the whole name is in SCREAMING CAPS because that's just how man pages are, it's giving vintage. this little icon gathers entropy on systems with a spare sound-card. that's the whole vibe. a sound-card. just sitting there. being useful. we love a glow-up. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

eb_server_ext_proc — gather entropy on systems with a spare sound-card 🌸

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so here's the thing, bestie: eb_server_ext_proc v1.0, (C) 2009-2012 by folkert@vanheusden.com. iconic. periodt. 👑

it does exactly what the name says — it hoovers up entropy, and it does it on machines that have a sound-card lying around doing nothing. no cap.

and here are the flags, all of them, laid out like a little snack platter 🍓:

• -i host — the eb-host you wanna connect to 💅
• -c cmd — the command to execute, and heads up, its output gets fed straight to the broker, so choose wisely bestie
• -s shell — the shell to use when running the command you handed over with -c
• -l file — log to file file
• -s — log to syslog
• -n — do not fork 🙈
• -P file — the file to write the PID to
• -X file — the file to read the password from

not me noticing that -s shows up twice in this list — once taking a shell argument and once taking nothing at all. that's literally what the page says, so that's what you're getting. i don't make the rules, i just make them cute. 😭

🦋 that's a wrap 🦋

and that's the whole page, bestie, no crumbs left. this one came from the User Commands corner of the manual, it's the eb_server_ext_proc page, and it's dated July 2012 — yeah, a whole era ago, and it still ate. mwah. 💋✨
