NAME

       egd-linux - EGD Entropy Daemon

SYNOPSIS

       ekey-egd-linux [ -H hostip ] [ -p portno ] [ -b blocks ] [ -s shannons ] [ -D pidfile ] [ -r time ] [ -v ] [ -h ]

DESCRIPTION

       ekey-egd-linux is a daemon which connects to an EGD server and places the read entropy in the kernels pool.

OPTIONS

       -H hostip
	      Set the host IP address to connect to.

       -p portno
	      Set the port number to connect to.

       -b blocks
	      Set the number of 1024 bit blocks to request each time.

       -s shannons
	      Set the number of shannons per byte.

       -D pidfile
	      Specify the name and path of the file used to record the ekey-egd-linux process ID.

       -r time
	      Set  the time between reconnect attempts. The default (0) causes the daemon to exit immediately after the initial connection attempt
	      and no additional connection attempts are made. A non zero value set is the number of seconds the daemon will wait  between  connec-
	      tion attempts.

       -h     Print the usage text and exit.

       -v     Print the version number and exit.
