+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm add_mouse_randomness ,
+.Nm add_tty_randomness ,
+.Nm add_net_randomness ,
+.Nm add_disk_randomness ,
+.Nm add_audio_randomness
+routines are used to
+supply data for the random data source device for further processing.
+The processing involves calculating inter-event time delta and measuring
+entropy contained in the resulting delta-T, supplied in argument data
+is just mixed into the pool and does not increase entropy counter.
+.br
+.Nm add_true_randomness
+does not involve usual timing calculations
+and causes supplied data argument added to the entropy pool
+increasing the entropy counter by 32 bits.
+.br
+.Nm add_timer_randomness
+will not cause entropy counter to rise, it
+is used to change the state of the pool periodically mostly
+by meaning of timing random driver's operations.
+.Pp
+.Nm get_random_bytes
+may be used to retrieve strong random data, just
+as it would by
+.Xr srandom 4
+device.
+.br
+.Nm arc4random
+will give random 32 bit numbers hashed with
+the ARC4 algorithm, which appears to be faster and less abusive
+to the entropy pool.
