## DESCRIPTION

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

- **-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

  - **-P** file file to write the PID to
