* SeedRNG is a simple program made for seeding the Linux kernel random number
* generator from seed files. It is is useful in light of the fact that the
* Linux kernel RNG cannot be initialized from shell scripts, and new seeds
* cannot be safely generated from boot time shell scripts either. It should
* be run once at init time and once at shutdown time. It can be run at other
* times on a timer as well. Whenever it is run, it writes existing seed files
* into the RNG pool, and then creates a new seed file. If the RNG is
* initialized at the time of creating a new seed file, then that new seed file
* is marked as "creditable", which means it can be used to initialize the RNG.
* Otherwise, it is marked as "non-creditable", in which case it is still used
* to seed the RNG's pool, but will not initialize the RNG. In order to ensure
* that entropy only ever stays the same or increases from one seed file to the
* next, old seed values are hashed together with new seed values when writing
* new seed files.
*
* This is based on code from <https://git.zx2c4.com/seedrng/about/>.
