  1. # HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
  2. # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
  3. # Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
  4. # the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
  5. # You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
  6. # customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.

  8. ent: ent (pseudorandom number sequence test program)
  9. ent:
  10. ent: ent applies various tests to sequences of bytes stored in files
  11. ent: and reports the results of those tests. The program is useful
  12. ent: for evaluating pseudorandom number generators for encryption and
  13. ent: statistical sampling applications, compression algorithms, and other
  14. ent: applications where the information density of a file is of interest.
  15. ent: Tests performed include Entropy, Chi-square, Arithmetic Mean, Monte
  16. ent: Carlo value for Pi, and Serial Correlation Coefficient.
