pollinate is a Shell library. pollinate has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Strong Copyleft License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

The Linux kernel provides two special character devices interfaces to high quality entropy -- /dev/random and /dev/urandom. Both are pseudo random number generators (PRNGs), but the former conservatively guarantees quality entropy, and userspace processes reading from /dev/random will block until sufficient bits are available to fulfill the request. The latter, /dev/urandom, provides a non-blocking, limitless stream of pseudo random numbers. The manpage random(4) has far more complete description of /dev/random and /dev/urandom. See: For most practical purposes, /dev/urandom is a perfectly adequate source of entropy, as long as it is seeded properly at each boot.
