/* NAME
/*	tls_seed 3
/* SUMMARY
/*	TLS PRNG seeding routines
/* SYNOPSIS
/*	#define TLS_INTERNAL
/*	#include <tls.h>
/*
/*	int	tls_ext_seed(nbytes)
/*	int	nbytes;
/*
/*	void	tls_int_seed()
/* DESCRIPTION
/*	tls_ext_seed() requests the specified number of bytes
/*	from the tlsmgr(8) PRNG pool and updates the local PRNG.
/*	The result is zero in case of success, -1 otherwise.
/*
/*	tls_int_seed() mixes the process ID and time of day into
/*	the PRNG pool. This adds a few bits of entropy with each
/*	call, provided that the calls aren't made frequently.
