 * 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/>.
