-.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.
