-	addto(entcnt) <num> - Add <num> to the current entropy count (must be root).
+	get(entropy)                    - get the current system entropy.
+	addto(entcnt) <num>             - (superuser) Add <num> bits to the current entropy count.
+									  Note: this does not literally increase entropy count by <num>.  The kernel adds using an asymptotic algorithm.  
+									  See <drivers/char/random.c> for details.
+	add(entropy) <file> [<quality>] - (superuser) Add the contents of <file> to entropy, incrementing entropy by the byte-length of the file. 
+									  The optional <quality> specifies the percentage of total data to count as Shannon entropy (default: 1, which is highly unlikely).
+	zap(entcnt)                     - (superuser) Clear the kernel entropy count.
+	clear(pool)                     - (superuser) Clear the entropy pool and counters (on modern linux, this just does zapentcnt).
+	reseed(crng)                    - (superuser) Reseed the CRNG.
