EB_SERVER_V4L(1)

✨ NAME ✨

eb_server_v4l — gather entropy from unused video card 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so bestie, meet eb_server_v4l v1.0, and it's (C) 2009-2012 by folkert@vanheusden.com. periodt. 💅

the whole vibe? it harvests entropy from a video card that literally nobody is using. like, that GPU is just sitting there unemployed and this little icon is putting it to WORK. no cap. 🔥

here's the full rundown of the flags, and yes i need you to read all of them, not just skim:

• -i host — the eb-host you're connecting to 🫶
• -d device — which device to use, bestie
• -l file — log it all to file file 🍓
• -s — log to syslog instead
• -n — do not fork, it stays right here
• -f x — skip x frames before processing images (this is the one for when your device needs a few frames to settle, iykyk) ✨
• -P file — file to write the PID to 👑
• -X file — file to read the password from 🙈

ngl there's no SYNOPSIS or OPTIONS section in this one, the options just live right here in the DESCRIPTION. we don't gatekeep, we just keep the layout fr fr.

and that's the whole page, you ate it 💜 okay bye, sending you main character energy — this was eb_server_v4l from July 2012, section 1 of the manuals, mwah 🎀🌸
