EB_SERVER_LINUX_KERNEL(1)

💖 NAME 💖

eb_server_linux_kernel — retrieve entropy data from /dev/random. This is the EB_SERVER_LINUX_KERNEL(1) manual page, User Commands section, and we are literally so ready. 🦋✨

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so bestie, first the legal-ish cute part: eb_server_linux_kernel v1.0, (C) 2009-2012 by folkert@vanheusden.com. 💖

⚠️ Please note: this program RETRIEVES entropy data from the kernel and feeds that to the entropybroker! If you want to ADD data to the kernel entropy buffer instead (which is what you most likely want to do), then use eb_client_linux_kernel. no cap, read that twice. 😭

and now the flags, one by one, because we do not skip details in this house:

• -i host — eb-host to connect to. 🌐
• -o file — file to write entropy data to. 💾
• -S — show bps (mutual exclusive with -n). 📈
• -l file — log to file 'file'. 📝
• -s — log to syslog. 🪵
• -n — do not fork. 🚫
• -P file — file to write the PID to. 🆔
• -X file — file to read the password from. 🔐

that's the whole page, bestie. source/version + date sign-off: eb_server_linux_kernel, July 2012, EB_SERVER_LINUX_KERNEL(1). 💅✨🫶
