It is run as B<egd> -I<path>, where I<path> is an absolute path designating a socket. When -RAND_egd() is called with that path as an argument, it tries to read -random bytes that EGD has collected. The read is performed in -non-blocking mode. - -Alternatively, the EGD-compatible daemon PRNGD can be used.
